  • Taiwan Surpasses India to Become World’s Fifth-Largest Stock Market
    May 27, 2026, 10:09 PM EDT. Taiwan's stock market climbed to the world's fifth largest, with a capitalization of $4.95 trillion, edging past India's $4.92 trillion. This shift is driven primarily by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), whose shares have surged 46% this year amid strong demand tied to artificial intelligence (AI). TSMC represents about 42% of Taiwan's Taiex index market cap. Regulatory changes allowing higher holdings in single stocks have supported inflows into TSMC. In contrast, India has experienced $24 billion in foreign capital outflows, pressured by less exposure to the AI tech cycle and a stock index drop of about 8% this year. Taiwan's market rise highlights a preference for tech hardware markets amid the AI boom, despite its economy being a fraction of India's size.
