What to Watch Next Week

Health care closed the week strong: Pharma & Biotech rose 19.03% and COVID (Diagnostics, Treatments, Vaccines) rose 18.07% on Jun 5. Whether that strength carries into next week is the open question.

New entries included Shipbuilding / Shipbuilding Equipment / LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) at 21.1% via KSP and E-Bikes at 20.68% via Samchuly Bicycle. Each was strong on only 1 day, so repeat appearances remain to be seen.
