Nvidia earnings lift Taiwan stocks back above 46,000

Sep 01, 2026

Taiwan's stock market jumped back over the 46,000 mark after strong Nvidia results, good news for tech investors but with warnings that the rally is running on thin trading volume.

  • Nvidia's earnings report pulled the whole Taiwan market up, with the index gaining more than 500 points at the high before closing up modestly.
  • TSMC held near 2,410 and remains the anchor of the market, with analysts still bullish on it for the medium and long term.
  • Apple foldable-phone suppliers and optical stocks caught fire, with Largan hitting a record and jumping over 30% in three days to become Taiwan's third most expensive stock.
  • Trading volume is the catch — the market needs to get back above NT$800 billion a day, ideally toward NT$1 trillion, to push on to 47,000–48,000.
  • Shipping stocks lagged and a trading-system outage locked some investors out of their brokerage apps during the busiest part of the morning.

Outlook: If foreign buying and volume keep building, 46,500–47,000 is the next test; if 46,000 breaks, attention shifts to whether support near 45,800 holds.
