Market Performance

The Global Cannabis Stock Index remained far above its all-time closing low of 11.26 from 9/30. It fell to 13.37 this Friday, lifting 0.4% during the week. This was a little better than the 0.2% gain in the S&P 500, which is up 2.4% so far in November. The cannabis index has rallied 1.4% this month-to-date, slightly behind the S&P 500, and it has rallied 18.7% thus far in Q4. This is more than the 10.6% return in the S&P 500.
