What to Watch Next Week

Wind and Solar both peaked on Sep 4, so the next question is whether those runs continue. A Chosun Ilbo headline linked the wind move to Korean New Deal.

Several themes appeared for the first time this week, including COVID (Dexamethasone) at 18.9% and K-New Deal Index at 10.11%. Whether they show up again is still open.
