Taiwan Index November night futures closed at 44,433 points on October 30, roughly 779 points below the spot TAIEX close and 293.26 points below the session's intraday low, per Taiwan Futures Exchange (TAIFEX) night-session data. The spot TAIEX finished at 45,211.83, down 1,156.50 points, or 2.49%, from the prior session, with an intraday low of 44,726.26. The night futures contract itself fell 867 points from its previous reference price, though the article notes the differing trading times and products warrant caution in direct comparisons. The weakness extended to US semiconductor stocks on October 30 (local time), with the Nasdaq-tracked Philadelphia Semiconductor Index also declining. The steep spot decline and futures discount signal bearish sentiment heading into the next session; watch whether TAIEX stabilizes near the 44,700-point intraday low and how US chip stocks perform overnight.
