Closing Thoughts

The question is whether Defense & War extends its 2-day streak; the episode began Jan 6. A Korean news report on Jan 7 said Victek dipped that day despite a large supply contract.

Oil Refining is a one-day episode for now. Same-day Korean news reports tied the move to hopes for higher refiner earnings and a brokerage turning bullish on the three refiners.
