Taiwan Weighted Index Opens 1.8% Higher to Record Intraday High

The record is notable less for its size than for its timing: a broad index gapping to an all-time intraday high at the open signals concentrated buying pressure rather than a gradual re-rating. Because no drivers were disclosed, the move is hard to attribute — whether it reflects regional tech flows, index-level positioning, or a single sector's weight is the open question. What matters next is whether the level holds through the session or fades, since opening gaps at records often say more about order flow than about fundamentals.
