Closing Thoughts

The open question is whether Electronic Payments / Crypto & Bitcoin / FinTech continues beyond its 1-day streak. Headlines on Danal pointed to a bitcoin payment service and hopes tied to Coupang.

Rising international oil prices formed the backdrop for Oil Refining / LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas), where SK Innovation gained 4.39%. Every theme has a streak of 1, so it’s not yet clear whether any of them will hold.
