Closing Thoughts

Most themes came back after short gaps, and Metals (Non-Ferrous), Power Equipment and Electric Cables each returned after 4 days. Resource Development stands out after a gap of 173 days.

Most episodes so far last only 1 day, so the next test is whether the moves continue past a single session. Shipping news centred on HMM, with reports that a perpetual bond is being converted into shares.
