Taiwan: Stocks almost flat, Mega Financial leads financials down

Taiwan stocks were almost flat on Wednesday morning as losses in financial shares, led by Mega Financial, eroded early gains.

Shares in the Taiwanese financial holding company, the focus of a probe by local prosecutors following a rare fine for anti-money laundering violations in the US, were sliding for the fourth session running.

As of 0252 GMT, the main Taiex index was unchanged at 9,031.24 points, after closing up 0.5 per cent in the previous session.

Tempering the selling was buying in tech heavyweight Hon Hai Precision, whose shares were 1.2 per cent higher, helping push the electronics subindex up 0.2 per cent.Click Here To Register For Free Trial Services OR Give A Missed Call : +6531581402 Follow Us On Twitter : www.twitter.com/epicresearchsg Like Us On Facebook : www.facebook.com/EpicResearchSingapore Need Any Assistance Feel Free To Mail Us at : info@epicresearch.sg
