Closing Thoughts
All three themes came back after long gaps of 169, 389 and 1404 days. So far each run has lasted only 1 day, so the open question is whether the move carries past this session.
Life Insurance had one gainer, Samsung Life Insurance, up 1.15%. A same-day Korean news report said the insurer is likely to keep its existing cash dividend payout ratio.
