Closing Thoughts

Every theme here returned after a gap, from 16 days for Petrochemicals to 195 days for EV. Each episode spans just 1 day so far, so it is not yet clear whether the moves will carry on.

A same-day Korean news report tied airline and petrochemical gains to a steep fall in oil prices. Whether that link holds may shape how Airlines & Low-Cost Carriers trade next.
