Closing Thoughts

Pharma came back after a gap of 102 days, and Oil Refining after 19 days. Each run has lasted only 1 day so far, so the next question is whether either theme can keep its streak going.

Ildong Holdings had no price data for the session, so one Pharma name is missing from the count. No news came with Oil Refining, which leaves the reason for its rise unclear.
