Taiwan shares bounce back from early losses to reach record high 04/20/2021 06:37 PM CNA file photo Taipei, April 20 (CNA) Shares in Taiwan closed at a new high Tuesday, as bargain hunters took advantage of the main board s early losses to pick up some large-cap stocks, dealers said. Contract chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) and China Steel Corp., the largest steel maker in the country, were the two favorites, particularly in late trading, dealers said. The Taiex, the weighted index on the local market, ended up 60.59 points, or 0.35 percent, at an all-time high of 17,323.87, breaking its record for the fifth day in a row. Turnover totaled NT$439.67 billion (US$17.70 billion).

Taiwan Drought Threatens to Make Chip Shortage Worse

news Taiwan Drought Threatens to Make Chip Shortage Worse The Bangkok Post © The Bangkok Post The worst drought in half a century is hitting Taiwan, adding strain to an island that is home to two-thirds of the world semiconductor manufacturing capacity during the worst global chip shortage in recent memory. The drought’s impact on semiconductor producers, which require voluminous quantities of water to churn out chips, is so far modest as the government creates exceptions for these manufacturers. But companies are starting to make adjustments, and officials have warned that the water shortage could worsen without adequate rainfall. Taiwan’s semiconductor wafer-fabrication factories, or fabs, account for 65% of global production, according to the research firm TrendForce. Most of that capacity belongs to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., the world’s biggest contract chip maker.
