Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. stock rose 2.92% to $427.31 on Monday, driven by a broader semiconductor sector recovery and positive geopolitical developments. The gain comes as chip stocks bounced back from a sharp selloff triggered by Broadcom Inc.'s recent earnings report, where the company reaffirmed rather than raised its long-term AI semiconductor revenue outlook. This prompted profit-taking across AI-linked chip names last week, but sentiment shifted by midday Monday as traders rotated capital back into high-growth technology names.

Market Recovery and Geopolitical Relief

The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 jumped 2.1% to 29,564.79, leading major U.S. indices higher. Market sentiment improved significantly after reports of an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Iran. President Donald Trump posted early Monday that both sides are seeking an immediate truce, while Iranian armed forces confirmed they ended military operations. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated Israel is "holding fire for now," sparking a broad relief rally across equity markets.
