Closing Thoughts

Both themes are one-day episodes so far, each with a streak of 1. Oil Refining returned after a 23-day gap, and a Korean news report said refining margins rose despite low oil prices.

For cement, a same-day Korean news report said problems weighing on the sector, such as collusion fines, were now behind it. The next sessions will show whether Sungshin Cement stays at the front of the theme.
