TAIWAN
- Interestingly, Taiwanese equites were not heavily impacted by the rise in risk aversion last month with VIX surging to nearly 40.
- While US growth stocks (FANGs) plummeted by 20% from peak to trough (and were down by 25% from their October high) before edging higher in recent days, TWSE is down by ‘only’ 5% from its all-time-high reached on January 5th.
- Due to its heavy semi-conductor component, Taiwanese equities have been trading like US-tech equities; the chart below shows the strong co-movement between TWSE index and FANG+ index in recent years.
- Hence, further upside consolidation in US growth stocks could support Taiwan equities in the coming days.
- Key resistance to watch on the TWSE index stands at 18, 616.60, which corresponds to the all-time high.
