TSMC Surges 1.42% on Strong Institutional Support as $3.09B Trading Volume Ranks 24th

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC, TSM:US) closed 1.42% higher on October 3, 2025, with a trading volume of $3.09 billion, ranking 24th in market activity for the day. The stock’s performance reflected sustained investor confidence in its semiconductor manufacturing leadership amid evolving global supply dynamics.

Recent developments highlighted TSMC’s strategic positioning in the chip industry. The company’s ongoing investments in advanced node technologies and its expanding client base in AI and automotive sectors reinforced its long-term growth narrative. Analysts noted that its ability to maintain pricing power while managing production costs remains a key driver for near-term stability.

Market participants also observed TSMC’s resilience in the face of macroeconomic uncertainties. While broader tech indices faced mixed momentum, the stock’s volume-to-price correlation suggested strong institutional support. This aligns with its role as a bellwether for global semiconductor demand cycles.

To run this back-test accurately we need to clarify a couple of details first: 1. Market universe • Would you like the U.S. listed equities universe (NYSE + NASDAQ) or another market? • Should we include ETFs or limit the list to common stocks only? 2. Data frequency & execution price • Do you want to enter at the same-day close and exit at the next-day close (the most common implementation), or use open prices? • Any slippage/transaction-cost assumptions to apply? 3. Portfolio construction • Equal-weight each of the 500 names every day? • Re-invest 100% of capital daily (i.e., fully turn the book over each session)? Because the toolset operates on a defined instrument or index, I’ll build an equal-weighted daily “Top-500-by-Volume” synthetic portfolio inside the back-test engine. Once the above points are confirmed I can generate the trade signals automatically and run the test from 2022-01-03 (first trading day of 2022) to the latest available date. Let me know your preferences and I’ll proceed immediately.
