Closing Thoughts

Each theme’s run lasted one day, all on 2015-06-05, so the next sessions will show whether the moves continue. For Masks, news coverage linked the rally to the spread of MERS.

For Telecom Carriers, a Korean news report said regulatory uncertainty should settle in July, which would put the focus back on fundamentals. The next thing to track is whether that view holds.
