Taiwan shares ended down 0.09 percent on Wednesday, but construction shares such as Highwealth rose as investors moved to traditional shares after a rally the previous session.
The main TAIEX shares index fell 6.31 points to 7,178.34. The construction sub-index jumped 4.3 percent. The bank and insurance index edged down 0.04 percent. The main index hit a 5-1/2 month closing high on Tuesday. Turnover was active at T$103.2 billion ($3.15 billion), lower than T$108.72 billion on Tuesday.
"The market was quite flat today as investors took a breather from yesterday's rally, but some specific tech stocks and traditional stocks were up," said Fubon Securities analyst Daniel Tseng.
"It may take some good sales news from major firms to boost the market's sentiment or else it will hover at around 7,150 to 7,250 points this week." Highwealth Construction Corp rose 4.8 percent, leading the construction index 4.3 percent higher. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd, the world's biggest contract chip maker, fell 0.33 percent after the Chinese language Commercial Times reported that Taiwan tech firms will spend nearly T$1 trillion ($30.45 billion) on new factories between the second half of this year and the first half of 2008.
TSMC is expected to post October sales figures on Friday. Smaller rival United Microelectronics Corp fell 1.09 percent after posting October sales results which rose 0.13 percent from a year ago.
DRAM (dynamic random access memory) chip maker Mosel Vitelic Inc rose the daily 7 percent maximum after it gave an optimistic outlook saying that the firm's earnings per share could reach T$5.00 by the end of this year.
Taiwan's top computer memory chip maker, Powerchip Semiconductor Corp slipped 0.24 percent as analysts say demand for DRAMs have risen sharply in the third and fourth quarters.
