What to Watch Next Week

Mar 5 was the best day for seven of the ten themes, including Battery at 22.7%. Whether that momentum carries into the next week is the first thing to track.

Oil Refining and Shipping came back after a break instead of extending a streak, averaging 10.76% and 14.77%. Another open question is whether oil-linked themes, LPG included, stay active.
