Closing Thoughts

Both themes came back after a pause: Banks after a gap of 11 days and Telecom Carriers after 29 days. Each is on a streak of 1 day so far.

A same-day Korean news report cited strong first-half profit at Hana Financial Group, which keeps bank earnings in focus. The open question is whether either rally lasts more than a single day.
