Taiwan stocks fall; HTC down after Q2 earnings

TAIPEI, July 9 (Reuters) - Taiwan stocks fell 0.91 percent
on Monday, joining a regional decline after sluggish U.S. jobs
data, with HTC Corp shedding 3.11 percent after the
smartphone maker saw second-quarter profit more than halve.
Some analysts also predicted HTC will be upstaged in the
second half by strong sales of Samsung's Galaxy S
III and Apple's upcoming new iPhone.
The main TAIEX index fell 66.87 points to 7,301.72,
after ending down 0.26 percent in the previous session.
Plastics counters were the main drag, down 2.06
percent. Electronics shares lost 0.95 percent, while
financial shares fell 0.67 percent.
The Taiwan dollar was down by T$0.018 to trade at
T$29.940.
