On July 17, iShares MSCI Taiwan ETF (EWT) fell 5.4% in pre-market trading, trading at $94.7/share, with turnover of $273,000.
On the news front, TSMC reported Q2 results with net revenue of $40.2 billion and EPS of $4.31, both exceeding market expectations. The company also raised its full-year revenue growth guidance to slightly above 40% and lifted capital expenditure projections to $60-64 billion. Despite the strong beat-and-raise quarter, TSMC shares fell over 5% in a classic buy-the-expectation, sell-the-fact reaction as investors locked in profits following a substantial prior rally. As the largest constituent of the MSCI Taiwan Index, TSMC's pullback directly weighed on EWT.
The fund generally invests at least 80% of its assets in component securities of its underlying index. The MSCI Taiwan Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index designed to measure performance of the large- and mid-cap equity market in Taiwan.
