Taiwan's stock market capitalization has soared to $4.14 trillion, surpassing the UK's $4.09 trillion, making it the seventh largest globally. This increase is attributed to a resurgence in technology stocks, particularly Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., which has reached an all-time high due to strong revenue growth linked to the artificial intelligence (AI) sector. The Taiex Index has experienced a 16% increase this month, marking its longest winning streak since 2025. In contrast, the UK's FTSE 100 Index has only gained less than 4% this month, hindered by persistent inflation and high interest rates. Despite these challenges, the UK market is attracting investors due to its strong exposure to energy and defensive sectors. A recent survey indicated that while the UK remains a favored market in Europe, a net 16% of global fund managers are currently underweight British stocks.
