- The Taiwan Weighted closed at 41,661.70 on November 9, 2026, gaining 4.94 percent.
- The rebound followed authorization for Taiwan's National Financial Stabilization Fund to intervene and new measures to curb market volatility.
- Technology stocks led the recovery, but foreign institutional investors remained net sellers.
The Taiwan Weighted Index, or TAIEX, closed at 41,661.70 on Monday, November 9, 2026, up 1,960.06 points or 4.94 percent from Friday's close. The index's second-largest daily point gain followed a week of heavy losses and came after Taiwan authorized market-support measures.
Focus Taiwan, citing the Central News Agency, reported that the index traded between 40,347.28 and 42,349.36 during the session. Turnover totaled TWD 837.93 billion. The gain exceeded Friday's 1,873.08-point decline, allowing the benchmark to recover more points than it had lost in that single previous session.
Policy support and technology rebound
The National Financial Stabilization Fund's management committee authorized market intervention on Friday after the TAIEX fell 12.19 percent during the week. The decision was the fund's tenth authorization since its establishment in 2000. Taiwan's Financial Supervisory Commission also encouraged listed companies to buy back shares and announced measures involving stock borrowing and short selling.
Dealers cited the government's intervention pledge as a factor that improved sentiment and encouraged dip buying. They also pointed to a rebound in US technology stocks on Friday, which supported Taiwan's electronics sector. The electronics index rose 5.49 percent, while Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. gained 4.68 percent. According to Focus Taiwan, TSMC's move accounted for about 800 points of the TAIEX advance.
Foreign selling remains a risk
The broad rebound did not mark an end to selling pressure from overseas investors. Foreign institutional investors sold a net TWD 90.06 billion on the main board on Monday, according to the same report. That contrast leaves the rally dependent on whether policy support and renewed demand for technology shares can stabilize flows after the recent sell-off.
For investors, the session restored the index above 40,000 points but did not remove the market's exposure to global technology sentiment, foreign positioning or policy-driven volatility. Further developments on Taiwan's market-support measures and upcoming US economic data may remain relevant to the next trading session.
