Taiwan’s stock market experienced a significant downturn on Wednesday, falling over 1,000 points, driven by a massive outflow of funds from foreign investors. This sell-off represents the largest single-day withdrawal of foreign capital on record, totaling NT$177.4 billion. The decline was particularly pronounced for Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), which saw its share price drop by over NT$100. Conversely, United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC) bucked the trend, experiencing gains amidst the broader market decline. The downturn follows a negative trading day for all four major US stock indices on Tuesday. Analysts attribute the investor behavior to global economic uncertainties and shifting investment strategies. The substantial foreign capital outflow raises concerns about potential further volatility in the Taiwanese stock market.
