Taiwan Index Futures Jump 1,064 Points as U.S. Semiconductor Shares Rebound

Taiwan index futures gained 1,064 points, or 2.57%, as strength in U.S. semiconductor shares lifted sentiment around Taiwan’s market during the latest overnight session.

The S&P 500 gained 2.35%, its largest one-day advance since April 8, and the Nasdaq rose 2.74%. TSMC ADRs climbed 3.51%, while Nvidia fell 4.27%, leaving the move uneven across semiconductor stocks.

Oil futures retreated, while U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar index eased from recent highs. Market attention also centered on AI hardware suppliers, including silicon photonics, memory and smaller semiconductor companies.

Caution remained in Taiwan’s market positioning. Foreign investors were net sellers of Taiwan stocks for eight straight trading sessions, and short positions in futures remained near historical highs.

Trading activity and sustained buying are the next measures to watch. Whether turnover expands and buying holds will help determine if Taiwan stocks can break above the five-day moving average.
