Closing Thoughts

Each theme’s current run lasts only 1 day, so North Korea, FinTech and the airline group all start from a one-session streak. The open question is whether those streaks continue.

A 2019-02-26 headline linked the North Korea construction rally to a wait-and-see mood before the North Korea-US summit. The summit’s outcome is the next event in that news flow.
