Closing Thoughts

Both themes have a streak of only 1 day. The next session will show whether New Airport keeps its momentum or fades.

Volume is another signal to follow: Yeonghwa Metal traded 22874837 shares, far more than its theme peers. No same-day news came with the Zika Virus move, so its driver is unclear.
