Movement Alert｜iShares MSCI Taiwan ETF Falls 5.12% in Pre-Market Trading, TSMC Kumamoto Factory Disaster Compounds Semiconductor Sector Weakness

Market Focus07-28

On July 28, iShares MSCI Taiwan ETF fell 5.12% in pre-market trading, trading at $92.995/share, with turnover of $35,000. On the news front, TSMC is currently assessing damage at its Kumamoto factory, triggering market concerns over potential capacity disruption, while the broader semiconductor sector continued its selloff.

The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index had previously retreated over 20% from its high, entering a technical bear market. TSMC fell 3.19% in pre-market trading to $385.92, while ASML dropped 3.6%, Micron declined 5.46%, SK Hynix lost 5.27%, and Intel fell 4.53%. Capital outflows from crowded AI and computing trades persisted, with the sector exhibiting a classic sell-the-news pattern. Taiwan's broader market dropped over 3% on the same day, pressuring the ETF's constituent stocks across the board.

The fund generally invests at least 80% of its assets in the component securities of its underlying index. The index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the large- and mid-capitalization segments of the equity market in Taiwan. The fund is non-diversified.
