Closing Thoughts

Both themes have a streak of 1, so each is a one-day episode so far. The first question is whether Political Ties (Ban Ki-moon) extends beyond a single session.

For Zika Virus, the move was broad, with all 3 stocks rising on the day. The data attaches no news item to this theme, so fresh coverage would add context.
