Closing Thoughts

Both themes came back after a gap, 22 days for autos and 50 days for test kits, and each streak stands at 1. The next sessions will show whether either run continues.

For Kia, same-day headlines from The Korea Economic Daily linked the jump to staying in profit despite 1兆 in provisions. Seoul Economic Daily reported the shares at a 58-month high. The test kit theme had no news attached.
