On November 6, iShares MSCI Taiwan ETF rose 5.32% in Regular Trading, trading at $90.845, with turnover of $177 million.
The move coincided with Taiwan's planned implementation of short-selling restrictions, while recent October sales updates from key semiconductor companies also improved sentiment toward Taiwan equities.
Among the latest disclosed fundamentals, Alchip reported October sales of NT$1.24 billion, up 48.9% year over year, and United Microelectronics reported October sales of about NT$25.2 billion, up 18% from a year earlier, with January-October revenue reaching NT$229.21 billion, up 16.33%. Given the ETF tracks the MSCI Taiwan Index and is heavily exposed to large- and mid-cap Taiwan stocks, especially technology and financial names, improved semiconductor sentiment and policy support help explain the rebound after the prior session's sharp weakness.
