Four themes stood out in the week of Oct 31 to Nov 4, and each was strong on just one day. Shipping led by a wide margin, with an average change of 17.25%.

Hanjin Shipping drove the Shipping move on Oct 31. A same-day Korean news report tied a rise in large-company loan delinquency at end-September to the firm’s court receivership.

Tires followed with 4.7% on Nov 3, led by Kumho Tire. Oil Refining rose 1.9% on Nov 2 behind GS Holdings, and Baby & Birth Rate gained 1.73% on Nov 4 through Agabang&company.

What to Watch Next Week

All four themes are tagged as recurring, but none stayed strong for more than one day. The clearest test is whether Shipping can extend its 17.25% move beyond Oct 31.

For Oil Refining, a same-day Korean news report on Nov 2 described an upswing in the refining and PX industry cycle. The next question is whether that story carries into the coming weeks.
