Key defensive scenarios for Taiwan stocks this Wednesday! ## Opening Remarks Good morning, everyone. I'm Pei-Yu, welcome to "AI Stock Chat." Today is Tuesday, July 7, 2026. Today, we are going to plan ahead and predict the trends for the Taiwan stock market index and key individual stocks for Wednesday, July 8, 2026. US semiconductor stocks experienced major volatility last night, but the Taiwan Index Futures night session showed a peculiar trend. How will the Taiwan stock market perform on Wednesday? Let's dive right in with Pei-Yu! ## Today's Market Index Prediction
Current Price 46556.39Next-DayBearish · 46117.57~46648.01 · Confidence 64%Short-TermBearish · 45297.99~46484.09 · Confidence 64%
Weighted Index AI Prediction Range (Next-Day / Short-Term)
First, let's predict the trend of the Taiwan stock market index for the next trading day, Wednesday, 2026-07-08. Below are the latest prediction data from the AI system for the next-day and short-term horizons: | Horizon | Current Price | Predicted Direction | Target Range | Confidence | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Next-Day (07-08) | 46556.39 | Bearish | 46117.57~46648.01 | 64.0% | | Short-Term (1 Week) | 46556.39 | Bearish | 45297.99~46484.09 | 64.0% | **In-Depth Interpretation of Market Sentiment:** The overall direction of the market is currently leaning "neutral-to-bearish," mainly dragged down by the sharp decline in the US Philadelphia Semiconductor Index. When the market opens on Wednesday, 2026-07-08, tech heavyweights like TSMC are expected to face some pressure to catch up with the downward trend. However, despite the plunge in US semiconductor stocks, the Taiwan Index Futures night session bucked the trend and rose. This peculiar divergence of "falling on the surface but rising underneath" indicates that the tug-of-war between bulls and bears is extremely intense. The most critical indicators to watch on Wednesday will be TSMC's defensive strength after the opening bell and whether the number of declining stocks in the market can remain a minority. This will determine whether the index will head straight down to find support or open low and walk high. ## Global Market Status Before looking at Taiwan stocks, we must first grasp the latest international market conditions. Below is the latest closing data as of now (no prediction direction): | Index | Close | Change % | | --- | --- | --- | | Taiwan Index Futures Night Session (TXF) | 47340 | 0.99% | | Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) | 53091.8 | 0.07% | | S&P 500 Index (GSPC) | 7513.62 | -0.32% | | Nasdaq Composite Index (IXIC) | 25857.96 | -1.01% | | Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) | 12176.58 | -5.61% | Last night, US tech stocks suffered widespread losses, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index in particular plunging 5.61% as chip stocks corrected collectively. However, the Taiwan Index Futures night session bucked the trend, rising 0.99% to close at 47,340 points, showing an extreme premium over the spot market. This contradictory phenomenon of US stocks plunging while futures night sessions held strong suggests that after the spot market opens on Wednesday, the extreme price gap between futures and spot will face a volatile market of rapid convergence. ## Key Stock AI Predictions

Key Stock Target Ranges (Vertical Line = Current Price, Colored Band = Target Range)
Next, let's look at the AI predictions for key stocks over the next 5 trading days (short-term horizon) starting from Wednesday, 2026-07-08. *Special Note: Due to differences in the quantitative model parameters extrapolated for the year 2026, the AI valuations of some individual stocks (such as TSMC and MediaTek) have deviated extremely from their historical correlation with ETFs (such as 0050). The following data is presented based solely on the raw output of the system. Investors are advised to carefully evaluate the reasonableness of the prices.* | Stock | Direction | Target Range | Confidence | Technical Signals | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Fubon FTSE Vietnam (00885) | Neutral | 18.8~19.44 | 58.0% | KD=SELL, MA=BUY, MACD=BUY | | Yuanta Taiwan 50 (0050) | Bullish | 109.45~114.24 | 54.0% | KD=SELL, MA=BUY, RSI=SELL | | TSMC (2330) | Neutral | 2373.3~2546.7 | 56.0% | KD=SELL, MA=BUY, MACD=BUY | | Cathay Taiwan-Korea Tech (00735) | Bearish | 102.87~110.65 | 59.0% | KD=BUY, MA=BUY, MACD=SELL | | MediaTek (2454) | Bullish | 4585.48~5087.38 | 56.0% | KD=SELL, MA=SELL, MACD=SELL | | Foxconn (2317) | Neutral | 259.16~284.84 | 55.0% | KD=BUY, MA=SELL, MACD=SELL | | Chunghwa Telecom (2412) | Neutral | 144.12~148.88 | 69.0% | KD=BUY, MA=SELL, MACD=SELL | **Plain English Commentary on Stocks:** * **00885 Fubon FTSE Vietnam:** Consolidation is expected in the short term. Although the stock price is above the moving averages, buying sentiment is a bit overheated. It is expected to fluctuate within the range to digest the heat. * **0050 Yuanta Taiwan 50:** Bullish in the short term. The most important thing to watch is the buying momentum positioning ahead of TSMC's earnings call on July 16. * **2330 TSMC:** Sideways consolidation is expected in the short term. The key is to watch the June revenue performance to be announced on July 10. * **00735 Cathay Taiwan-Korea Tech:** Bearish in the short term. The stock price has fallen below the 5-day and 20-day moving averages, and there is pressure to continue adjusting downward in the short term. * **2454 MediaTek:** Although most technical indicators are weak, the system's quantitative baseline predicts a bullish direction for the next 5 days, with a confidence level of 56%. * **2317 Foxconn:** The conclusion is sideways volatility. The short term will be like a roller coaster ride with ups and downs. Beginners should watch out for short-selling pressure from foreign institutional investors. * **2412 Chunghwa Telecom:** Standing still in the short term. Indicators already show signs of being "too hot." Do not rush to chase highs at this time. ## Strategic Stock Selection Radar The following are the results of our strategic screening, **not buy or sell predictions for individual stocks**. We have screened stocks with unique market performances through comprehensive indicators such as institutional flows and technical aspects: | Stock | Overall Score | Institutional Flow Score | P/E Ratio | Valuation | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Highwealth (2536) | 84 | 100 | 6.53 | fair | | Uni-President (1216) | 80 | 100 | 21.08 | fair | | Lextar (1529) | 79 | 100 | 20.31 | cheap | | Farglory (5522) | 79 | 100 | 8.69 | cheap | | Taimide (4934) | 75 | 100 | 0.00 | expensive | **Highlights of Strategic Stock Selection:** * **Highwealth (2536):** Trading volume expanded significantly by 2.48 times, showing a bullish engulfing pattern. The CCI indicator turned strong, but note that the Williams %R indicates overbought conditions. * **Uni-President (1216):** Upward momentum strengthened, with trading volume expanding by 1.54 times. The MACD histogram turned bullish. However, after a short-term rally, watch out for the risk of chasing highs. * **Lextar (1529):** The K-line showed a hammer pattern, and the MACD indicator showed a bullish divergence, indicating signs of stabilizing and stopping the decline. * **Farglory (5522):** Trading volume surged by 3.98 times, but both RSI and Williams %R show overbought conditions, and the 20-day bias ratio is too large, indicating a short-term risk of overheating. * **Taimide (4934):** Trading volume expanded by 1.56 times, momentum strengthened, and it showed a volume-price bottom divergence signal, indicating stabilizing volume. ## Recent Prediction Accuracy Review
