What to Watch Next Week

All four themes are marked as recurring, so the open question is whether they come back next week. A Korean news report on Sep 7 said Shinhan Financial Group was added to the DJSI World index.

Each theme was strong on only 1 day this week. One thing to follow is whether Defense & War builds on its Sep 4 move of 13.66% or fades.
