Two themes stood out on Apr 26, 2016, and both came back after a pause. Zika Virus led with an average change of 5.22%, and all 3 of its stocks closed higher.

Orientbio topped the group at 6.82%, followed by Billions at 5.85% and Myungmoon Pharm at 2.99%. A same-day Korean news report tied the move to a WHO warning on the virus’s spread.

Shipbuilding returned after 50 days, averaging 2.28% with 2 of 3 stocks up. HD Hyundai Mipo rose 3.18% on first-quarter operating profit up 244.9% year on year, per a Korean news report.

Closing Thoughts

Both themes sit on a streak of 1, so the next sessions will show whether the moves extend. The Zika Virus move has lasted 1 day, so news on the virus’s spread is the thread to follow.

The Shipbuilding episode is recorded through Apr 27, and HD Hyundai Mipo’s earnings were the cited driver. HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering had no price data for the session.
