The TAIEX ended down 439.72 points to 31,624.03 with turnover of NT$740.40 billion (US$23.4 billion). “Fortunately, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) benefited from late session bargain hunting to recoup part of the TAIEX’s losses,” Tang said. Shihlin Electric & Engineering Corp (士林電機) shed 5.68 percent to close at NT$216.00, and Fortune Electric Co (華城電機) slid 2.89 percent to end at NT$942.00. “Judging from today’s movement, the TAIEX seemed to have technical support ahead of the 20-day moving average of 31,300 points for now,” Tang said. Foreign institutional investors sold a net NT$48.12 billion of shares on the main board yesterday, the Taiwan Stock Exchange said.
