Closing Thoughts

MERS & Coronavirus returned after a gap of 1063 days, so the open question is whether it lasts beyond a single session. The North Korea episode spans 2018-09-07 to 2018-09-11.

In construction, Taeyoung Engineering & Construction led small caps at 11.63% and IPARK Hyundai Development Company led the majors at 12.06%. The next test is whether both groups keep rising together.
