Closing Thoughts

Every theme’s current run is 1 day long, so the next test is whether OLED Displays can extend its streak. Oil Refining / Petrochemicals averaged 2.5%, with LG Chem leading at 3.51%.

A Korean news report pointed to a large bidding contest for the GBC project involving Hyundai Engineering & Construction. Later sessions will show whether the broad rally in construction holds.
