Ice,

Insider trading seems unlikely, since it was a move in the entire sector. A large organization going long on the sector, or covering a major short position on the sector seems more likely. Sometimes brokerage houses upgrade a number of companies in a sector all at the same time, too, and this news goes out to its clients a day before it gets to the general public, as another possibility.
