Yesterday it fell 1,165 points, and today it rebounded nearly 1,400 points at its intraday high—the Taiwan stock market is taking a pretty deep breath. #Gate上线台股交易

At around 11:55, the weighted index hit an intraday high of 44,489 points, up 1,397 points from yesterday’s close of 43,091. It briefly retreated to around 43,945 in the morning, but was still holding firmly above 44,000 before the lunch break. Today’s bullish candle recovered more than half the ground lost in yesterday’s massive selloff on turnover exceeding NT$1 trillion.
The script behind this rebound is clear: the Taiwan market chose to interpret news of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s resignation as “the bad news is fully priced in.” The Taiwan index futures night session had already played this out in advance, staging a sharp V-shaped recovery of more than 1,600 points from a low of 42,371 and closing at 43,676. The spot market opened today at 43,719, gapping higher, and surged nearly 1,400 points intraday, with ASIC, optics, and PCB stocks taking turns lighting up.
Stocks to watch: TSMC at NT$2,370, up NT$30 (+1.28%), with an intraday high of NT$2,390, recovering more than half of yesterday’s NT$55 loss; MediaTek hit the limit-up directly at NT$4,235, as ASIC-related stocks charged ahead across the board; GUC hit limit-up at NT$8,645, overtaking Chuan Hu to become Taiwan’s second-most expensive stock for the first time; 8 thousand-dollar stocks bounced back in a day, bringing the total back to 46, including 9 limit-up stocks.
Also, the MSCI semiannual rebalancing has just been finalized: Taiwan’s weight in the Emerging Markets Index rose from 28.86% to 29.01%, effective November 30. TAIYO YUDEN, Nan Ya PCB, and G-SHANK were added to the index—the passive-fund flows won’t be tallied until the end of the month.
Baobao’s take: This is a sentiment-driven recovery, not a fundamental reversal. Nvidia was still down 4.34% on the U.S. market last night, closing at $166.19, and concerns about AI demand haven’t gone away; foreign investors still have nearly 100,000 net short futures contracts, while institutions expect the market to fluctuate within 1,000 points of around 43,000. The first day of a rebound is about momentum; whether it can hold above 44,000 after the lunch break and whether the close leaves an upper shadow are the real tests today—let’s settle the score in the 15:00 closing post.
Do you think today’s bullish candle means “the bad news is fully priced in and the rebound is just getting started,” or “a bounce after a steep drop, with more giveback after the lunch break”?
