On May 26, iShares MSCI Taiwan ETF rose 5.02% in regular trading, trading at $101.635/share, with trading volume of $126 million.

On the news front, the broad semiconductor sector surge propelled the Taiwan market higher, with AI chip demand acting as the primary catalyst. TSMC, which accounts for approximately 42% of Taiwan's benchmark index market capitalization, has rallied roughly 49% year-to-date as the core supplier in the AI investment cycle. MSCI's latest quarterly rebalancing further raised TSMC's weighting by 0.56 percentage points, attracting additional passive fund inflows into Taiwan-focused instruments.

Fundamentally, Taiwan's first-quarter GDP grew 13.7% year-over-year, driven by explosive chip demand tied to the AI boom, reinforcing the market's strong underlying growth trajectory and supporting the ETF's upward momentum.

The fund generally invests at least 80% of its assets in the component securities of its underlying index, which is a free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the large- and mid-capitalization segments of the equity market in Taiwan.
