Closing Thoughts
Both themes have a streak of just 1 day, so the next session will show whether the Zika Virus move lasts. Further down the list, GeneOne Life Science rose 15.6% and Orientbio 9.02%.
For Masks, one open question is whether the gains spread beyond Okong, since Lime rose only 2.99%. The two stocks traded very different volumes, which the next session’s data may help explain.
