Closing Thoughts
Both themes came back after a break: Beauty & Cosmetics after a gap of 98 days, and Oil Refining / Petrochemicals after 159 days. Each has a streak of 1 day so far.
The next sessions will show whether these moves last beyond one day. For the refining theme, the thread to follow is further coverage of the US crude export policy change.
