Taiwan shares end slightly down as TSMC recoups majority of losses
Taipei, Nov. 1 (CNA) Shares in Taiwan closed slightly lower Friday as contract chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) recouped most of its earlier heavy losses caused by a plunge by IC stocks on the U.S. markets at the end of last week and with buying from government-led funds said to stand behind the recovery, dealers said.
