Closing Thoughts
This was a new appearance for the theme, with a streak of 1 day. The next session will show whether the flu-driven move continues or fades.
More news on the flu’s spread is another factor to follow, since two Korean news reports tied it to the day’s strength in vaccine-related stocks.
