Taiwan Weighted closes 2.52% higher at 42,711.92

The Taiwan Weighted extended its recovery on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, closing at 42,711.92 points. The benchmark gained 1,050.22 points, or 2.52 percent, from Monday's close of 41,661.70, according to Focus Taiwan, which cites Taiwan Stock Exchange data.

Technology shares lead the advance

The session followed a 4.94 percent gain on Monday and was supported by an overnight rally in US equities. Focus Taiwan reported that falling crude oil prices also helped ease inflation concerns, improving the broader risk mood. The index moved between 41,930.03 and 43,135.92 during the session, while turnover reached approximately NT$1.00 trillion.

Technology and electronics shares were the main source of index strength. The electronics sector rose 3.06 percent, with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. gaining 2.24 percent to NT$2,285.00. TSMC, which accounts for more than 40 percent of the market's total capitalization, contributed about 400 points to the index advance. MediaTek rose 2.82 percent, while ASE Technology Holding gained 7.84 percent. Delta Electronics and Gold Circuit Electronics each rose by the daily 10 percent limit.

Foreign selling remains a counterweight

The advance was not accompanied by a return of foreign buying. Foreign institutional investors sold a net NT$34.12 billion of shares on the main board, according to the Taiwan Stock Exchange figures reported by Focus Taiwan. That flow is relevant for investors assessing whether the rebound is broadening beyond domestic and policy-supported sentiment.

Market commentary cited by Focus Taiwan linked the rally to improved sentiment in global technology shares. An analyst from Moore Securities Investment Consulting said overseas AI-related stocks appeared to be stabilizing and that this encouraged buying in Taiwan's AI-linked companies. The explanation points to a continuation of the recent sensitivity of the TAIEX to semiconductor valuations and US technology trading, rather than an isolated move in one sector.

Rebound follows a volatile period

At 42,711.92, the index remained below its recent 52-week high of 49,968.92, as shown on CNBC's Taiwan Weighted market page, but Tuesday's gain extended the sharp recovery that began in the prior session. Investors may therefore continue to focus on foreign flows, global chip-sector sentiment and whether technology leadership can persist when the next Taiwan session opens.
