Taiwan AI Stocks Slide as “AI-Capex Trade” Cools: TSMC Drops 2% and TAIEX Breaks Below 28,000 (Dec. 15, 2025)

The Taiwan Stock Exchange’s weighted index fell 331.08 points to 27,866.94, with turnover at NT$436.78 billion—a session defined by heavy selling in mega-cap electronics and a rotation toward smaller, theme-driven pockets of the market.
