Closing Thoughts
Both themes came back after a pause: Zika Virus after 11 days and Shipbuilding after 8. Each run so far has lasted just 1 day, so the next question is whether either one continues.
A same-day Korean news report said shipbuilders rose as the KOSPI edged higher. There was no price data for HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering in this session.
