Closing Thoughts
Both themes lasted only 1 day, so it is unclear whether either runs past Aug 10. For airlines, the currency link in a Korean news report is one factor to follow.
Nam Hwa Construction Company traded 5913919 shares, the highest volume among the day’s listed names. A Korean news report also said the stock hit a new high.
