What to Watch Next Week
Five of the six themes were repeat appearances, so the next question is whether North Korea returns. Petrochemicals / Synthetic Fibers is new, and the coming weeks will show if it recurs.
No theme logged more than 1 strong day this week. The next sessions will show whether any of them can put together a longer run.
