Closing Thoughts

Both themes lasted only one day, so the next sessions will show whether the moves continue. For Securities Brokers, the question is whether the rate-cut story keeps all 4 names rising.

For Air Purifiers, a Korean news report said repeated spring yellow dust had doubled purifier sales. The next thing to track is whether that demand holds up.
