Taiwan’s stock market experienced a volatile trading day, ultimately closing with gains despite significant selling pressure from foreign investors. Over the past two days, foreign investors have offloaded NT$166.8 billion (approximately USD 5.17 billion) worth of shares. Despite this outflow, the market was buoyed by strong performance in traditional industries, particularly military-industrial and petrochemical sectors, which saw numerous stocks hitting their daily trading limits. The initial dip in the morning was reversed as these sectors gained momentum, attracting buying interest. Analysts attribute the resilience to domestic investor confidence and the strong showing of key industrial players. This positive close suggests potential for continued short-term recovery, but the impact of ongoing foreign capital movements remains a key concern. The market's performance underscores a complex interplay between international investment trends and domestic economic strengths.
