Closing Thoughts

All four themes have a streak of only 1 so far, so the data shows just one session for each run. The open question is whether FinTech can keep all 6 of 6 stocks rising.

A same-day Korean news report linked the FinTech rally to government policy support for the sector. Another tied the Casinos rebound to the passage of a cruise-related bill.
