Strong Sectors Today's market saw the financial insurance and optical communication network sectors perform exceptionally well.

Additionally, PCB-related stocks like Lian Mao and Tai Hong also saw strong buying interest, lifting the sector as a whole.
Weak Sectors In contrast to the overall market strength, the container shipping sector underperformed today.
