Taiwan Surpasses India as World's Fifth-Largest Stock Market Led by TSMC Rally

Taiwan's stock market has surpassed India's to become the world's fifth largest, reaching a market capitalization of $4.95 trillion compared to India's $4.92 trillion. This shift is largely driven by a 49% rally in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), fueled by strong demand for AI-related semiconductors. Taiwan's market concentration in tech hardware contrasts with India's challenges, including rising energy costs, slowing corporate earnings, and limited exposure to AI-linked companies. The change reflects a broader global capital shift toward AI-focused manufacturing hubs like Taiwan and South Korea.
