Today is Tuesday, September 29, 2026, and we're analyzing the next trading day, Wednesday, September 30, for Taiwan's stock market. Let's start with the bottom line: the quantitative model is signaling a bearish direction for both the next-day and short-term outlook. On top of that, all four major US indices closed lower overnight, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) plunging over 1.6%. So listen to this episode with your risk awareness turned up a notch. ## Today's Market Index Forecast

Weighted Index AI Forecast Range (Next Day / Short-term)
| Horizon | Current Price | Forecast Direction | Target Range | Confidence | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Next Day (9/30) | 48024.6 | Bearish | 47343.92~47888.46 | 63.0% | | Short-term (about 1 week) | 48024.6 | Bearish | 46502.54~47720.19 | 63.0% | The model's confidence level is around 63%, not an overwhelming signal, but both the next-day and short-term outlooks point in the same bearish direction. Morning sentiment was similarly downbeat: 390 stocks advanced versus 553 that declined, a fairly wide gap between advancers and decliners, suggesting the selling pressure looks more like broad market caution rather than being concentrated in a handful of heavyweight stocks. The lower bound of the short-term range sits around 46502, meaning that if the weakness persists, there's still room for further downside over the coming week. ## Global Market Overview | Index | Close | Change% | | --- | --- | --- | | Taiwan Futures Night Session (TXF) | 47956 | -0.35% | | Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) | 51481.51 | -0.67% | | S&P 500 (GSPC) | 7683.69 | -0.77% | | NASDAQ Composite (IXIC) | 26820.38 | -0.92% | | Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) | 12465.24 | -1.61% | The Taiwan Futures night session weakened in tandem, echoing the direction of the next-day forecast for the broader index. On the US side, the SOX posted the steepest decline, over 1.6%, which isn't good news for the semiconductor sector, Taiwan's largest weighting group. ## Strategy Stock Screening Radar The following are strategy screening results, not individual stock buy/sell predictions. | Stock | Overall Score | Chip Score | P/E Ratio | Valuation | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Realtek (2379) | 66 | 63 | - | - | | Yang Ming Marine Transport (2609) | 66 | 75 | 13.15 | expensive | | Taiwan Mobile (3045) | 66 | 100 | 22.87 | cheap | | Taiwan Cement (1101) | 64 | 63 | 0 | fair | | Yageo* (2327) | 64 | 75 | - | - | From a technical standpoint, Realtek and Taiwan Cement are showing signs of strengthening momentum, while Yang Ming and Taiwan Mobile are each flashing bearish signals such as fading rallies and breaking below the monthly moving average. Yageo's moving averages are currently tangled with no clear direction, putting it in a wait-and-see position. ## Recent Forecast Accuracy Review As for the hit rate, to be honest with everyone, this series is still accumulating its first batch of settled samples, and we don't yet have enough data to calculate a stable directional accuracy rate. Once actual settlement data comes in, we'll report it as it is, whether the numbers look good or bad, we won't hide anything. ## Disclaimer This content is automatically generated by an AI model based on quantitative data.
