What to Watch Next Week
North Korea is the only theme whose run was flagged as continuing, so the open question is whether it carries on past Nov 23. Most other themes were strong on just one day.
Cannabis was the week’s only new theme, up 1.99% on Nov 23, led by Phionx. Pharma & Biotech (5.37%) and Petrochemicals (4.24%) both came back on Nov 21.
