Closing Thoughts

Headlines tied the cement and construction gains to Honam semiconductor expectations. The cement episode runs from Oct 12 to Oct 13, so the next session will show whether that breadth holds.

Shipping came back after only 5 days, compared with 53 for the other two themes. The open question is whether Middle East headlines keep pushing freight names higher.
