Closing Thoughts

Both themes are on a 1-day run, so the open question is whether either one carries into the next session. Autonomous Driving relied heavily on Apam, while gains in Battery / EV were spread across all 3 names.

Breadth is the other thing to track. Autonomous Driving had 2 of 3 stocks up, against 3 of 3 for Battery / EV. The next session’s data will show whether that gap holds.
