One of Asia’s top-performing stock markets flirted with a record high, thanks to a global rebound in technology shares and enthusiasm from retail investors.
Taiwan’s Taiex Index rose as much as 0.5% before paring gains to 0.1% as of Friday’s close, boosted by MediaTek Inc. The benchmark is up almost 22% so far this year, poised for a third annual gain and outperforming most Asian peers.
