Closing Thoughts
The Oil Refining episode spans 2 days in the data, from 2015-03-26 to 2015-03-27, with SK Innovation up 2.96%. Petrochemicals is so far a one-day episode.
One open question is whether the Petrochemicals move lasts beyond its 1-day run after the 58-day gap. Another is whether these sectors keep rising while the wider KOSPI falls.
