Taiwan stocks set to bounce Monday as US markets rally

Sep 12, 2026

Taiwan's market is expected to rebound Monday after a strong US session, but the week ahead looks choppy for investors.

  • US stocks jumped Friday after inflation came in as expected, with chip stocks leading the way.
  • Taiwan shares fell hard Thursday as foreign investors dumped more than NT$100 billion of stock.
  • Inflation is still running near 3.4% in the US, so the Fed is widely expected to raise rates at next week's meeting.
  • Oil near $100 a barrel, driven by the US-Iran conflict choking supply, is keeping price pressure high and pushing bond yields up.
  • Taiwan's own central bank meets on the 17th, with attention on whether it raises rates and whether it loosens its strict property lending limits.

Outlook: Expect a bounce to start the week, then sharp swings as the Fed decision, futures settlement, and oil prices collide.
