What to Watch Next Week

News on Sep 30 reported a 15.9% rise in city gas rates. How Natural Gas Utilities names Daesung Energy and Gse move after that report is one thread to follow.

Every theme this week was tagged as a recurrence (recurred). Cannabis at 9.26% and Defense & War at 7.36% were strong on one day each, and it is still unclear whether either returns.
