Taiwan’s stock market surged on Tuesday, with the benchmark Taiex index jumping 2.07% to close at 22,242.14 points – marking its strongest single-day performance in three weeks. The rally was broad-based, with semiconductor heavyweights leading gains following positive earnings guidance from global chipmakers and renewed optimism about AI-related demand.
The strong showing came despite lingering geopolitical tensions, as investors focused instead on improving export data and expectations of continued technology sector strength. Trading volume expanded significantly compared to recent sessions, suggesting both domestic and foreign investors were actively rebuilding positions in Taiwanese equities.
Market analysts noted the index’s breakout above the psychologically important 22,000-point level could signal renewed upward momentum, with the electronics sector particularly benefiting from anticipated second-half product cycles. The performance outpaced most regional peers, reflecting Taiwan’s unique positioning in global tech supply chains amid the ongoing AI infrastructure buildout.
