Closing Thoughts

Every theme has a streak of only 1, so it is still unclear whether Music & Entertainment and the related content themes can run longer than a single day.

A-jin Industry led both Auto Parts and EV, and one headline noted 5 straight days of foreign net buying. Games returned after the longest gap on the board, with Me2on as its leader.
