The Taiwan Weighted finished Friday, November 13, 2026, at 43,675.12, according to Focus Taiwan. The benchmark gained 583.25 points, or 1.35 percent, from Thursday's close of 43,091.87. The result marks a completed-session close for the Taiwan Stock Exchange, rather than an intraday reading.
Chip designers lead the rebound
The index moved as high as 44,489.48 during the session before giving back part of the advance. Taiwan News reported that most large weighted stocks ended higher. TSMC rose 0.43 percent to NT$2,350, while MediaTek advanced 7.01 percent to NT$4,120. Foxconn gained 0.42 percent, and ASE rose 2.05 percent.
Chip designers also attracted strong buying. Global Unichip ended 9.54 percent higher at NT$8,610, while Alchip Technologies gained 9.39 percent to NT$4,020. Taiwan News attributed the sector's strength to investor speculation about which local suppliers could benefit from cloud-service providers' spending on custom chips amid developments involving Nvidia's leadership. That market interpretation does not by itself establish a direct causal relationship between the news and the index's performance.
Record weekly advance follows sell-off
Friday's gain capped a 3,973.48-point, or 10.01 percent, weekly advance, according to Taiwan News. The report said this was the index's largest weekly gain on record and followed a 5,510-point decline in the previous week. The sharp swings underline the market's elevated volatility after the recent technology-led sell-off.
Trading value totaled NT$916.26 billion, as reported by Focus Taiwan, down from NT$1.01 trillion on Thursday. The broader recovery therefore came with lower turnover than the previous session, even as technology and information-services shares drew substantial buying interest. Investors should distinguish the strong weekly rebound from the still-volatile short-term trading pattern.
