Closing Thoughts

One question is whether the Banks streak extends beyond 3 days, with news citing mortgage rates at an 18-month low. The theme’s breadth, 8 of 8 stocks up, is another gauge.

Oil Refining and LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) returned after a gap, both led by GS Holdings at 4.28%. Whether they hold for a second day remains open.
