Movement Alert|iShares MSCI Taiwan ETF Falls 5.12% in Regular Trading, TSMC Post-Earnings Profit-Taking Drags Taiwan-Weighted Holdings

Market Focus07-17

On July 17, iShares MSCI Taiwan ETF (EWT) fell 5.12% in regular trading, trading at $96.67/share, with turnover of $225 million.

On the news front, TSMC reported Q2 results with net revenue of $40.2 billion and EPS of $4.31, both exceeding expectations. The company also raised its full-year revenue growth guidance to slightly above 40% and lifted capital expenditure to $60-64 billion. Despite the strong results, TSMC shares fell over 5% post-earnings as the market exhibited a classic buy-the-expectation, sell-the-fact pattern.

As the largest constituent of the MSCI Taiwan Index, TSMC's sharp pullback directly weighed on EWT. The ETF tracks the MSCI Taiwan Index, a free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index designed to measure the performance of large- and mid-cap equity segments in Taiwan, with holdings primarily listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange spanning financials, technology, and commodities sectors.
