Tai-ex ends at new high despite U.S. threats to blockade Hormuz Strait
Posted on 2026-04-13 20:08:13
Taiwan stocks closed at a record high today, bucking a broader regional
downturn.

The benchmark Tai-ex rose 39 points to close at 35,457, with turnover topping
780 billion NT.

Most Asian markets fell and oil prices climbed after the U-S threatened to
blockade the Strait of Hormuz, a key global shipping route amid tensions with
Iran.

Concerns over energy supplies weighed on sentiment earlier in the session.

However, dealers said that late-session buying helped lift the index, with
T-S-M-C leading the rebound.

Analysts say investor confidence remains strong, with hopes tensions could
ease and optimism ahead of upcoming tech sector outlooks.
