Lawmaker raises concerns over TAIEX distorted by TSMC weightingStaff writer, with CNAChinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Legislator Lin Te-fu (林德福) yesterday raised concerns that the heavy weighting of contract chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) is distorting the performance of the TAIEX. A man stands in front of an electronic stock board at the Taiwan Stock Exchange in Taipei yesterday. Despite the significant gains, 749 stocks fell on the main board on Monday with only 156 stocks moving higher. Yesterday, TSMC closed at NT$1,675, down 1.76 percent on profit taking, pushing the TAIEX lower by 0.46 percent. If fears that an AI bubble will burst become a reality, the local stock market will be severely impacted with many investors hurt, he added.
