Closing Thoughts

Every theme on the list was a recurrence with a streak of 1. Pharma came back after a 48-day gap, while GLP-1 & Obesity Drugs resurfaced after just 2 days.

News of a drug supply deal by Kukjeon’s subsidiary and a Genexine mRNA presentation drove the leaders. It remains to be seen whether the moves last beyond one session.
