What to Watch Next Week

Next week will show whether the chip run holds. HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) peaked at 5.96% on Mar 20, the same day as a headline on expectations for Samsung Electronics HBM.

On the healthcare side, Gene Therapy & Genomics had an average change of 8.38% across 2 strong days. The other open question is whether Pharma and related themes can repeat that strength.
