Pharma rose 5.54% on Sep 20 behind GC Biopharma and was new to the list this week. Shipbuilding added 5.33% on Sep 19 as a Korean news report pointed to a better industry outlook.

What to Watch Next Week

Every theme was strong on only one day, so the next thing to see is whether any of these moves repeat. Mobile Games / Games and Pharma were the two new themes on the list.

Most other themes recurred from earlier weeks, including Steel Majors at 3.97% and IT Majors at 2.96%. The question for the coming week is whether that pattern continues.
