Taiex's Second-Biggest Closing Point Gain

Taiwan's Taiex closed at 41,661.70 on 9 November 2026, up 1,960.06 points (+4.94%), the second-largest closing point gain in the index's history, Central News Agency reported. Intraday the index rose as much as 2,647.72 points to 42,349.36. TSMC closed at NT$2,235, up NT$100 (+4.68%). The rebound followed a week in which the Taiex lost 12.19%, and came after the market had fallen about 20.55% from a 6 October intraday high of 49,968.92, according to Focus Taiwan. On 6 November the management committee of Taiwan's National Financial Stabilization Fund authorized a market intervention — the 10th since the NT$500 billion (US$15.26 billion) fund was established in 2000 — and authorized its executive secretary to use funds as needed to smooth volatility. Whether the fund actually bought shares has not been confirmed. CNBC separately noted Asian chip stocks rose in the session, with SK Hynix up about 4.77% and Samsung about 2.7% on its figures; Nvidia after-hours weakness tied to a probe into CEO Jensen Huang is background, not the card claim.
