SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) - U.S. investors, growing more confident that political unrest in Taiwan is settling down, bought up shares of Taiwan's two major chip foundries Monday. The Bank of New York Asian ADR Index climbed 1.32 points to close at 109.71. Over the weekend, Taiwan's newly re-elected president agreed to a recount in an election campaign that brought about several violent protests as well as assassination attempts.
