Closing Thoughts

A same-day Korean news report called this a tough period for cosmetics stocks, but said Kolmar Korea was hit less than its peers. Both themes have a streak of just 1 day so far.

Another same-day Korean news report pointed to unease over Chinese limits on travel to Korea, which weighed on duty-free and Travel stocks. The thing to watch is whether that worry comes back.
