Closing Thoughts

KBI Dong Yang Steel Pipe led both Korea-Russia Gas Pipeline and Steel Pipe at 29.97%. The open question is whether these steel moves last beyond a 1-day episode.

On the chip side, Semiconductor Materials & Components averaged 7.35%, led by Ycchem. The next session will show whether that streak of 2 continues.
