Closing Thoughts

Every theme sits on a 1-day streak, so the open question is whether the gains carry into the next session. In Steel Majors / Steel (Small & Mid Cap), Hyundai Steel Company rose 9.15%, while Dongkuk Holdings had no data.

News on the same day reported foreign net buying in Pan Ocean and Hyundai Steel Company, and a 6-day run of institutional buying in HL Mando. Whether that buying continues is the next thing to see.
