Record-breaking highs on Wall Street have been replicated in stock markets across Asia, with the Taiwan Stock Exchange today displaying similar positive sentiment, opening and closing on a high, pushing the TAIEX past the 9,700-point mark to create a new 21-month high.
The TAIEX closed up on 44.73 points, or 0.46 percent, on 9710.32 points with the day’s transactions totaling NT$99.23 billion. The positive performance of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing and Hon Hai Precision Industry’s stocks helped to boost morale of bullish investors, and a price correction in financial stocks failed to dampen investors’ spirits. Small and mid-cap stocks continued their outstanding run, causing the TPEx Index to outperform the TAIEX.
Analysts note that although the TAIEX initially surged forward on a wave of bullish sentiment on the first day of trading in the Year of the Rooster, once the TAIEX hit the 9,700 point mark, market impetus appeared to fizzle out.

Total transactions today dipped below NT$100 billion: a 25 percent reduction on last Friday’s figure. Analysts say this shows that once the index hit a new high, bullish investors were not prepared to buy at high prices. Some fear that large-cap stocks may fail to gain impetus and that the TAIEX may experience short-term volatility.

美股再創歷史新高,亞股普遍跟進走揚,台股今天也演出開高走高的亮麗走勢,攻上九千七百點大關,再創二十一個月以來新高。
加權股價指數終場上漲四十四點七三點、漲幅百分之零點四六、收在九千七百一十點三二點、成交值新台幣九百九十億二千三百萬元,其中,台積電、鴻海穩住多頭軍心,雖然金融股出現過高回檔的走勢,但無阻多頭攻堅的決心,中小型股表現依舊突出,櫃買指數漲幅優於加權指數。
分析師表示,台股在金雞年開紅盤後一路強攻,多頭氣勢驚人,不過隨著指數來到九千七百點、量能似有跟不上的狀況。
今天成交值下滑到千億元以下,較十日減少約百分之二十五,顯示指數創高後多頭追價意願不足,大型股恐出現量能不濟的狀況,指數短線可能出現震盪走勢。

Tangbao are one of the most internationally renowned delicacies, that win the hearts of both locals and tourists. Their charm lies in the paper-thin flour wrapper that needs to be folded evenly almost 20 times. Folding a tangbao requires skill to deal with a bulging filling and a thin wrapper. Tangbao are served in a bamboo steamer in which they are steamed, not only adding to the visual appearance, but ensuring they do not get cold before reaching the table. The best way to enjoy a tangbao is to dip it in a mixture of vinegar and soy sauce with
The Bank of Japan (BoJ) announced a seismic change in direction on March 19, hiking interest rates for the first time in 17 years. The move represents an unwinding of an ultra-loose — and maverick -- policy aimed at putting Japan’s “lost decades” of stagnation and deflation behind it. The last time the BoJ raised interest rates was in 2007, but its war against deflation began in earnest in 2013 under then-prime minister Shinzo Abe. “Abenomics” combined generous government spending and central bank monetary easing. The BoJ spent vast amounts on bonds and other assets to pump liquidity into the
Have you ever wished for an extra hour to prepare for exams or finish homework? In some countries, people actually adjust their clocks to gain or lose an hour, all for the sake of Daylight Saving Time (DST). Specifically, clocks are set forward by an hour in March and then set back in November. One of the primary reasons for implementing DST is to make better use of natural daylight so that people can reduce energy consumption. The concept originated with Benjamin Franklin in 1784 and became widely adopted during World War I. Today, this system is in place
For the first time, the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has fined a company for improper disposal of its defunct satellite. The satellite cable company Dish Network was fined US$150,000 because it failed to move an old satellite that was no longer in operation to a safe distance from others currently being used. The FCC had asked Dish Network to move one of its older satellites, EchoStar-7, 186 miles further from the Earth. However, the satellite had only advanced 76 miles before it ran out of fuel at the end of its operational life in 2022.
