Closing Thoughts

The open question is whether Semiconductor Equipment, Securities Brokers and Airlines, all 1-day episodes, carry on past Aug 25. Car Majors also recurred but listed no stocks.

Inter-Korean Economic Cooperation goes into the next session on a 2-day streak. How HMM and Hyundai Engineering & Construction trade next will show whether the theme’s run continues.
