The main TAIEX index rose 0.8 per cent to 8,802.54, after closing at 8,734.54 in the previous session; and is now at a more-than-four-month high.
Foreign investors' net purchase so far this month has surpassed the entire month of February.
The electronics subindex rose 0.75 per cent, while the financials subindex gained 0.52 per cent.
The Taiwan dollar gained T$0.237 to T$32.469 per US dollar.
