Closing Thoughts

Both themes sit on a streak of 1 day, so the next session will show whether either one carries on. For Food, the open question is whether the earnings-driven move reaches beyond Lotte Food.

Character Merchandise rests on a single stock, Aurora World, which traded 190114 shares. Any follow-through in the theme depends on that one name.
