Stocks Reporter FXStreet

Update: SNDL announced it will raise $89.1 million from warrant holders exercising rights at $0.80 and $1.10. Shares in Sundial have been under pressure as the retail interest in the stock wanes. The sector, cannabis stocks, have been in focus with retail traders on hopes of legislation from a more open new US Administration. Sundial (SNDL) shares are currently trading at $1.39 during Friday's pre-market, down nearly five percent.

NASDAQ:SNDL completed another tumultuous day for investors as the cannabis stock whipsawed from a 6% gain in the morning to a closing loss of 15.70%. After peaking at $3.96 just one week ago, Sundial has come back down to Earth in a big way, as shares closed Thursday’s trading session at $1.45. Sundial was not the only cannabis play to suffer on Thursday as industry giants Aphria (NASDAQ:APHA) and Tilray (NASDAQ:TLRY) both plunged ahead of their merger, and Canadian rival Aurora Cannabis (NYSE:ACB) also sold off.

There may be another reason for Sundial’s collapse, as the company recently announced it would be selling $1 billion in stock or other investment securities, to raise capital. This is a common practice by firms who want to take advantage of an inflated stock price, but the impending dilution of shares on the market usually does not sit well with current shareholders. The recent bump in price and trading volume has allowed Sundial to regain NASDAQ compliance as it has stayed above the $1 per share mark for ten straight trading days.

SNDL stock news

Sundial may be returning to the shadows after its recent run as a r/WallStreetBets meme stock. The movement has lost its momentum now and the trading volume of Sundial shares has reflected this. Like Sundial, other meme stocks like AMC (NYSE:AMC) and GameStop (NYSE:GME) have fallen back to near obscurity, as the dust settles and a congressional hearing begins on the events that took place in January.

AUD/USD sticks to positive bias above 0.7100; lacks bullish conviction

AUD/USD trades with a positive bias for the second straight day, holding above 0.7100 in the Asian session on Friday as softer US bond yields keep US Dollar bulls on the back foot. Furthermore, hawkish RBA Governor Bullock's comments boost rate hike bets and support the Aussie. However, the Fed's hawkish outlook, along with geopolitical uncertainties, limits USD losses and caps the pair.

USD/JPY approaches 158.00 as Japanese Yen resumes decline

USD/JPY is resuming its upside in the European session on Friday, refreshing two-week highs and nearing 158.00. The Japanese Yen extends losses, despite the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) expected rate hike to 1.25% and hawkish Governor Ueda's comments, as two surprise dissents against the rate hike weigh on it.

Gold keeps the bid tone in place; still below $4,400

Gold adds to the optimism seen in the second half of the week, trading with decent gains just below the $4,400 mark per troy ounce on Friday. The precious metal’s advance finds traction in declining crude oil prices and fresh selling pressure on the US Dollar.

Why altcoin season isn't coming back — and what stole its capital
