Taiwan Dual-Listings Monitor: TSMC Premium Staying High Ahead of Earnings This Week; UMC at Par

Taiwan Dual-Listings: TSMC Premium Drops But Still 8.8%; ASE Premium High & Looks Stretched

<ul>
<li>TSMC is back to an 11.8% ADR premium after dropping to 8%... potentially another good Long/Short point.</li>

<li>ASE, ChipMOS, and CHT spreads have also experienced significant swings since our last dual-listings piece.</li>
