"台灣加權股價指數終結15年連續收紅"

台灣加權股價指數在全球經濟的恐慌中於農曆年底關卡下滑，這是15年以來首度下滑。

蛇年因為中國的緩慢成長和擔憂美聯儲的量化寬鬆計畫而跌了1.58%。儘管如此，蛇年的市值的確增加了9.59%，達到22.22兆新台幣，而指標的台灣加權股價指數增加了7.03%。

在這期間的交易額達991.58億新台幣，以玻璃陶瓷的股價摔得最慘（3.11%）。臺灣證券交易所（TWSE）公佈電子業的股價跌了2.69%，而半導體製造則下滑了2.34%。

元富證券總經理劉坤錫表示：「上週五大大動搖華爾街的拋售散佈至亞洲了。」而「如果華爾街在這假期之中削弱超過7%，台灣加權股價指數可能會延長修正的期間，此次修正可能會修到8300或是甚至8100。」

然而新台幣和台灣交易所修正的速度應該會很緩和，因為經濟基本面正在改善，而且預測投資者很快將會重新將焦點放在改善企業的營收。

(Business) TAIEX Ends 15-Year Streak Of Gains

The TAIEX dropped amid fears over the global economy for the first time at the end of a lunar year session in 15 years.

The Year of the Snake recorded a 1.58% drop as a result of Chinas slow growth and worries about the US Federal Reserves quantitative easing program. That said, however, market capitalization in the Year of the Snake did increase 9.59 percent to NT$22.22 trillion and the benchmark TAIEX gained 7.03 percent.

Turnover was NT$99.158 billion in the session, with glass and ceramics shares falling the most (3.11 percent). The Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) showed that electronics shares dropped 2.69 percent and semiconductor makers slipped 2.34 percent.

Quincy Liu, president of MasterLink Securities Corp., stated, The sell-off that jolted Wall Street last Friday spread to Asia... and, If Wall Street weakens to more than 7 percent during the holiday, the TAIEX may see an extended period of corrections that will take it to 8,300 or even 8,100.

The pace of corrections to the New Taiwan Dollar and the local bourse, however, should be mild due to improving economic fundamentals and the prediction that investors will soon refocus attention on improving their corporate earnings.
