Closing Thoughts

Most themes came back after a break, and Mycoplasma Pneumonia returned after a gap of 131 days. Construction (Small & Mid Cap) was the only theme on a streak, now at 2 days, with EehwaConstruction up 24.46%.

Shipping and LPG had news behind their moves: rising tension in the Middle East, and LPG supply prices set to rise in August. Later sessions will show whether those links hold.
