Cannabis stocks were celebrating this week, on the news that the United Nation’s Commission for Narcotic Drugs voted to reschedule cannabis. This means cannabis is effectively removed from a list including ‘hard’ drugs, such as heroin.
Only one member state rejected the move, however most Western countries, voted in favour of the proposal.
This comes almost two years after the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommended the rescheduling of cannabis and cannabis-related substances.
In general market news, Chris Beauchamp, Chief Market Analyst at IG says, “A slew of dour PMI readings has weighed on sentiment in European trading, while in London Rolls-Royce is enjoying a rebound after news of a new push into narrow-body aircraft.
“A more cautious mood has descended on stock markets in Europe this morning, after final PMI readings provided a less than stellar outlook for the region.
“The rash of figures confirmed the pessimistic near-term view of the eurozone economy and for the UK as well, as service sectors across the continent remain in contraction territory.
“Losses on stock markets are still relatively modest, since like the downturn earlier in the year, today’s figures have very much been a reflection of existing information – everyone can see it will have been tough month thanks to lockdown measures bearing down on economic performance.
“Rolls-Royce has always managed to demonstrate a capacity to adapt to even the toughest times, and today’s announcement about a move back towards the narrow-body jetliner market has provided the spark the shares have been searching for in order to maintain their rebound from the November lows.
“The shares have only recouped around a third of their losses from late October, and the bounce since the beginning of November is perhaps only the latest in a series of false dawns for a share price that has yet to find a low.”
