What to Watch Next Week

In paper, Paper / Corrugated Board averaged 10.35% via PaperCorea, while Corrugated Board / Paper hit 16.88% on Nov 27 via Shinpoong. One open question is whether the two paper themes show up together again.

For Battery / EV, a Nov 27 headline read “Did it rise too much?"…Battery stocks weaken together. That was the same day the theme posted its 14.09% best change. The other open question is whether its 4-day run continues.
