Yahoo Finance | Local Language | News | Nov. 21, 2025 | UndeterminedInvestor Sentiment

On November 19, 2025, Taiwan's stock market weighted index closed at 26,580.12 points, down 176.00 points (0.66%), with a total trading value of NT$516.18 billion. The three major institutional investor groups were net sellers totaling NT$32.682 billion, led by foreign investors’ net sales of NT$25.689 billion. Investment trusts were net buyers of NT$1.075 billion, while proprietary traders were net sellers of NT$8.068 billion.

Foreign investors’ top net-sold stocks included three electronics, four financial, and three traditional industry stocks. Fubon Financial (2881) led with net sales of 39,699 lots (NT$3.498 billion), marking four consecutive days of selling and cumulative sales of 79,128 lots. Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing (6770) and Cathay Financial Holding (2883) ranked second and third, with net sales of 25,414 lots (NT$0.898 billion) and 22,693 lots (NT$0.347 billion), respectively. Other notable net sales involved AU Optronics, Chang Hwa Bank, China Engineering, EVA Air, Unimicron, Ta Chen Stainless Pipe, and Taishin Shin Kong Financial.

The market has experienced a significant decline in recent days, with over 1,300 points lost in four days and a total pullback approaching 2,000 points, signaling what is described as the effective start of a bear market in Taiwan. Rate-cutting expectations collapsed, leading to capital withdrawal, valuation downgrades, and pressure on stocks, despite anticipation around NVIDIA's upcoming earnings. Foreign investors decreased their Taiwan index futures net short positions by 4,000 contracts to -31,047 contracts on the 19th.

Comparing recent days, on November 18, the index closed lower by 691.19 points (2.52%) at 26,756.12 with foreign investors net selling NT$48.538 billion. On November 17, the index rose slightly by 49.81 points (0.18%) to 27,447.31, with foreign investors being net buyers of NT$7.335 billion. Earlier, on November 14, the index fell 506.06 points (1.81%) to 27,397.50 with foreign investors net selling NT$60.399 billion.

Other significant trading trends included large-scale net buying by the three major institutional investors of Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing (46,905 lots) on the 18th, reversing a prior net selling trend, and persistent selling pressure on major electronics and financial stocks by foreign investors and investment trusts over the preceding days.

The market remained volatile throughout this period due to policy uncertainties, exchange-rate concerns, and tariff announcement rumors, causing investors—particularly foreign buyers—to hesitate or reduce positions ahead of clearer signals. Despite occasional rebounds, sustained upward momentum was lacking as bears maintained pressure, shifting the market sentiment to a bearish outlook with declining trading volumes and negative fundamentals dominating.
