What to Watch Next Week

Each of the five themes was strong on only one day this week, and all five had appeared before. The open question is whether any of them can hold up across several sessions.

Steel Majors, led by Posco Steeleon, and Defense & War, led by LIG Defense&Aerospace, moved with no news attached. It remains to be seen whether news flow appears to explain those moves.
