The US stock market is exhibiting mixed results, which could impact the opening performance of the Taiwan stock market. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index surged over 1.3%, boosting TSMC futures by 5 TWD and creating an optimistic market atmosphere.

On Wednesday, the US stock market had a volatile pattern, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average declining, halting its four-day winning streak. Meanwhile, both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq posted slight gains, indicating a clear influence of technology stocks. The Taiwan market experienced a net buy of 28.8 billion TWD, with foreign investments making 20.3 billion TWD worth of net purchases, suggesting that today's opening may continue to show upward momentum.

Concerns about the slowing US economic growth intensified following underwhelming job data, prompting investors to seek refuge in large tech and semiconductor stocks, as TSMC and MediaTek are expected to continue attracting buying interest. However, the renewed tensions in China-US trade introduce potential pressures on Taiwan's export-oriented sectors.

Investors should monitor the performance of technology stocks and fundamental sales potential, focusing on small and medium-sized stocks backed by institutions while cautiously addressing market volatility risks.
