Taiwan Stock Index Falls 1.6 Percent

This Site:en.yinlu.net Source:en.yinlu.net Writer: Time:2007-11-16
TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) -- Taiwan stocks fell Friday, weighed down by the fall in other Asian bourses and the decline on Wall Street overnight.

The Weighted Price Index of the Taiwan Stock Exchange fell 140.59 points, or 1.6 percent, to 8,764.8 on weak volume.

The Japanese yen will be key focus for looking at the market's performance next week, said Daniel Liu of Ta Ching Securities.

"If the yen depreciates, it's good for stocks," he said, because funds would be flowing to the U.S. and boost markets there, which would in turn lift the Asian markets.

In Friday's trade, leading stocks dropped across all sectors.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. lost 0.7 percent to NT$60.50; Hon Hai Precision Industry fell 2.6 percent to NT$202.50; Taiwan Cement shed 5.4 percent to NT$46.45; and Formosa Plastics finished off 4.5 percent to NT$93.20.
