The Taiwanese stock market experienced a strong upward trend on Tuesday, with major players like TSMC and UMC leading the charge. The overall index saw a significant increase of 1126 points, closing at 46125.91.

However, the positive market sentiment was not uniformly distributed. Foreign investors were notably active in selling off shares of Chunghwa Picture Tubes (CPT), a company with a substantial shareholder base of 380,000. They offloaded nearly 80,000 shares, with proprietary traders also contributing to the selling pressure by disposing of 3,009 shares.

This significant selling pressure caused CPT's stock price to fluctuate, dipping from an opening of 20.1 TWD to an intraday low of 19.3 TWD, a drop of over 4%. Despite this volatility, the stock managed to recover by the end of the trading session.

Support from investment trusts and retail investors played a crucial role in CPT's recovery. These buyers stepped in, helping the stock to close at 19.6 TWD, marking a 1.82% increase for the day. The trading volume for CPT also surged, reaching 158,800 shares.
