Closing Thoughts

All five themes are on a 1-day streak, so the next session will test whether they extend. Petrochemicals averaged 3.28% despite a Korean news report on weak product prices as oil fell.

In Shipbuilding, HD Hyundai Mipo rose 6.79%, which a same-day Korean news report tied to expectations of a stake sale. Samsung Heavy Industries added 3.83%.
