Closing Thoughts

Tires came back after a gap of 208 days, and Car Majors after only 6 days. Both are on a streak of 1, so the next sessions will show whether the move continues.

Banks and IT Majors also recurred on Aug 18, but neither listed any stocks. Whether they pick up constituents is another point to follow.
