As of May 2026, TSMC makes up over 42% of the Taiwan Stock Exchange's benchmark index. That huge weight is a main reason the index is doing well, because the firm has ridden the global AI boom.

In short - the whole market's fate is tied to TSMC.

It's basically just three stocks:
- Delta - data centres
- MediaTek - phone processors
- TSMC - chips

Semiconductors plus AI are a big part of that - exactly what the world needs, and they're leading the way.

It's propped up by just one company; any slowdown or cut in AI capex could bring the whole market down.

We call China our competitor, yet we can't even manage Taiwan.
