Taiwan shares plunge on COVID-19 fears despite reassurance

May 17 (National Post) - TAIPEI - Taiwan's stock market closed down 3 percent on
Monday, even as the chief executive tried to reassure Taiwan that its economy is
fundamentally sound, with strong demand for export orders and normal production
activity.
The sudden spike in domestic COVID-19 infections to more than 700 over the past
week and the tightening of restrictions in the capital Taipei on Saturday spooked
people accustomed to living a near-normal life with a well-controlled outbreak.

逾 39 萬張、131 億元排第 2。

China Airlines' share price continues to hit new highs amid the unblocking theme of
aviation duo
China Airlines (2610) soared sharply thanks to the ferment of unblocking themes,
and China Airlines (2610) surged today 7.9%, to 31.25 yuan, continuing to hit a new
high in 23 years; EVA Air (2618) even soared 9%, reaching 34.5 yuan.

China Airlines sold more than 630,000 tickets and NT$19.1 billion, ranking first in
volume and value; EVA Air ranked second with more than 390,000 tickets and
NT$13.1 billion.
Sea freight is congested, and air cargo is looking good. In addition, as countries
gradually unblock, air passenger transportation also sees a turnaround, driving airline
stocks to explode. In December last year, China Airlines’ cargo revenue hit a record
high of 15.427 billion yuan. In January this year, its cargo revenue reached 12.776
billion yuan. Although the demand for export space is stable and strong, the loading
rate is maintained at a high level, and the freight rate continues to be at a high level.
However, the New Year’s Day holiday and the Spring Festival affect commodities The
pace of shipments, coupled with the high base period in December last year, led to a
monthly decline of about 17% in freight revenue in January.

EVA Air's revenue in January was 10.654 billion yuan, a monthly decrease of 13.87%
and an annual increase of 59.06%. The end of the year is the peak season for freight
transport. As customers have already shipped a large number of goods, the volume
of goods in January decreased slightly, which in turn affected the decline in freight
performance compared with December last year.

Shipping stocks 0+7 came, aviation duo added flights to cope with unblocked tourism
tide
The new 0+7 system for entry exemption from residence inspection is expected to be
launched on October 13. In response to the retaliatory tourist wave, the aviation duo
has begun planning to increase flights. EVA Air (2618) is expected to fly nearly 200
flights per week in October, and aims to exceed 300 flights per week by the end of
the year , to fully welcome the recovery of passenger transport.

The stock price of the aviation duo continued to fall after unblocking the market
failure
The stock price of airline duo continues to fall after unblocking the market failure
Personal travel, but the airline duo continued yesterday’s unblocking market failure
trend. China Airlines (2610) and EVA Air (2618) both fell by more than 3% intraday.

The legal person believes that due to high inflation in Europe and the United States
leading to sluggish demand in the terminal retail market, coupled with the easing of
the sea freight congestion situation, the cargo business dividend that has supported
airlines’ profits in the past two years has gradually faded, and after the government
announced the unblocking time, aviation stocks may The anticipation of unblocking
themes "the profit is exhausted", and the international oil price is higher than before
the COVID-19, resulting in the lack of more positive themes to support confidence in
the market.

The opening of the border has brought more profits, and the aviation duo has

fallen by more than 16% in a single week

Stocks and shipping stocks rebounded to party China Airlines, EVA Airlines marginal
people
Only the aviation duo is still struggling under the market and has become a marginal
player in the rebound. The second phase of border unblocking started on the 13th.
Airline duo China Airlines (2610) and EVA Air (2618) were pressured by flight price
competition. On Thursday, sales surged to the daily limit. In this regard, Bank of
America Securities pointed out that the climax of unblocking surprises has passed,
and the opening of the border has exhausted the benefits. The legal person believes
that because the global epidemic alert has not yet been lifted, international air ticket
prices have begun to drop, and countries have different moves to unblock, and they
are pessimistic about the stocks of the airline duo, thinking that the time of high
ticket prices "can't go back." As for the cargo business, which became the savior of
operations during the epidemic, the legal person also pessimistically estimates that
the cargo revenue of China Airlines and EVA Air will decrease by 8% and 9% this year,
and the annual decline will expand to 49% and 59% next year. Driven by the sharp
rise in U.S. stocks today, the weighted index rebounded by more than 400 points. The
stocks on the market were all happy, and the aviation duo was still in the water
amidst the bad news.

to
high-yield stocks, military engineering stocks, US Treasuries, and gold, as well as shift

more active investment in sectors that perform well in the first quarter, despite slow
