Closing Thoughts

Battery began its run on 2025-02-19 and extended it to 2 days. The next test is whether the six one-day themes hold beyond Feb 20.

Duty Free posted an average change of 5.33%, even as headlines said high exchange rates were hurting duty-free sales. Its gap of 79 days was the longest of the session.
