Closing Thoughts The chip rally has now run for 3 sessions, and Semiconductor Majors (Fabrication) rose an average of 2.58%. The next test is whether that breadth carries past Mar 21.
Duty Free rose an average of 2.73% with all 6 stocks up, though its leader Tonymoly gained just 0.66%. The next sessions will show whether the returning consumer themes rise again.
