ZK International Meets Nasdaq Standards; Overbought Trends In Materials Sector; Galiano Gold Updates On Asanko

Stainless steel and carbon steel engineer and manufacturer ZK International Group ZKIN has regained compliance with Nasdaq over a bid price deficiency after the company's closing bid price exceeded $1.00 for 10 consecutive business days.

In November, the Nasdaq Hearings Panel granted ZK International a temporary exception until Jan. 31, 2024, to regain compliance. ZK International is currently trading at $1.11.

As of this writing, four stocks within the materials sector are trading at overbought levels, which could signal that a shift in momentum is on the horizon.

Alcoa Corporation AA, Glatfelter Corporation GLT, Aspen Aerogels, Inc. ASPN and Ingevity Corporation NGVT have all seen significant price increases over the past month, with their RSIs exceeding the typical overbought threshold of 70.

The month-to-date performance and RSI levels for each company are:

• AA: +25% RSI: 74
• GLT: +34% RSI: 73
• ASPN: +51% RSI: 78
• NGVT: 25.5% RSI: 71.5
