TAIPEI, Dec 27 (Reuters) - Taiwan stocks were largely flat 
on Tuesday in light trading ahead of the year-end, amid a lack 
of cues to provide direction as some major overseas markets were 
shut for holiday.   
    As of 0318 GMT, the main TAIEX index  .TWII  was mostly 
unchanged at 9,114.04 points, after closing 0.4 percent higher 
in the previous session. 
    The electronics subindex  .TELI  rose 0.1 percent, while the 
financials subindex  .TFNI  lost 0.4 percent.  
    Among actively traded shares, display maker Hannstar Display 
Corp  6116.TW  was off 2.3 percent, while contract chipmaker 
TSMC  2330.TW  rose slightly. 
    The Taiwan dollar  TWD=TP  softened T$0.019 to T$32.269 per 
U.S. dollar. The local dollar is trading at lows not seen since 
early July against the U.S. dollar.
