What to Watch Next Week
One thing to watch is whether Defense & War keeps up a streak that was still running on Jan 8. Its 2 strong days so far are the record it has to match.
For Oil Refining, a theme that has come back before, the open question is whether the refiner-profit story lasts beyond a single 5.09% day.
