Opening Remarks

Hello everyone, I'm Pei-Yu. Today, after the market close on Thursday, 2026-07-16, I'm here to take you through the predictions for the next trading day, Friday, 2026-07-17, for the Taiwan stock market index and key individual stocks. With the TAIEX currently standing at a high of over 45,000 points, and facing a tug-of-war between massive foreign institutional short positions in futures and the US stock market, we need to be especially wary of reverse sell-offs and violent long-short washouts after foreign capital settlements this Friday. Everyone must stay calm and avoid blindly chasing highs or selling lows!

Today's Market Index Prediction

Our predictions for the Taiwan Stock Exchange Capitalization Weighted Stock Index (TAIEX) for Friday, 2026-07-17, and the upcoming week are as follows:

The overall market currently presents a "neutral-to-bearish but brewing a rebound" pattern. This is mainly because foreign capital holds historically massive short positions in futures, exerting extreme downward pressure on the spot market. Although overnight US semiconductor stocks and the TAIEX futures night session showed support, the market opening on Friday, 2026-07-17, may still face selling pressure and washouts following foreign capital settlements. Investors are advised to wait patiently for the market to find its footing.

Key Stock AI Predictions

Below are the AI predictions for key individual stocks for the next 5 trading days starting Friday, 2026-07-17:

• Fubon FTSE Vietnam (00885): The stock price has just broken below all short-term moving averages, showing weak buying momentum. It may continue to seek support lower in the short term.
• TSMC (2330): The earnings call released positive news, but due to heavy profit-taking pressure in the market, the stock price is prone to fluctuating within its current range.
• Cathay Taiwan-Korea Tech (00735): Hit by the double blow of going ex-dividend and the South Korean stock market circuit breaker storm, the stock price faces pressure to fill the dividend gap.
• Yuanta Taiwan 50 (0050): Facing the double whammy of Middle East geopolitical risks and foreign capital short positions, the short-term outlook is range-bound consolidation.
• Foxconn (2317): The short term will see rollercoaster-like volatility. Novice investors should watch out for short-selling pressure from foreign capital on the broader market.
• MediaTek (2454): System quantitative benchmarks show a bullish bias for the next 5 days, though technical indicators still need some time to digest.
• Chunghwa Telecom (2412): The short term will show sideways consolidation. Current indicators are slightly overheated, so avoid rushing to chase highs.

(Note: Due to the influence of historical data and extreme market index levels, the proportional relationship between some individual stocks and the market index may deviate. Investors should remain mindful of the risks.)
