Taiwan shares close slightly up in consolidation mode 05/26/2021 04:54 PM CNA file photo Taipei, May 26 (CNA) Shares in Taiwan moved in consolidation mode, ending slightly higher Wednesday after lackluster performance on U.S. markets overnight, dealers said. After a surge the previous day, many tech heavyweights paused to limit the movement of the broader market, while buying rotated to select old economy stocks, giving support to the main board, the dealers said. The Taiex, the weighted index on the Taiwan Stock Exchange, ended up 48.02 points, or 0.29 percent, at 16,643.69, after moving between 16,523.23 and 16,706.29. Turnover totaled NT$425.76 billion (US$15.32 billion). The market opened up 0.30 percent as the bellwether electronics sector continued from Tuesday's momentum to move higher, but with the Taiex breaching the 16,700-point mark at one point, selling followed to erode the earlier gains, the dealers said.
