Stocks That Hit 52-Week Highs On Friday

Znergy Inc

Thailand has introduced a new cannabis bill to regulate the country&#8217;s booming marijuana industry, marking the latest step in its ongoing efforts to steer cannabis use toward medical and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/medical-cannabis"> health-related purposes. </a>
This move comes after a series of policy shifts and follows the 2022 decriminalization of the plant, which made Thailand the first country in Asia to take such action.

The new draft bill, published earlier this week by the Ministry of Public Health, is seen as a more measured approach than previous proposals, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-09-18/thailand-unveils-new-bill-to-regulate-cannabis-while-keeping-it-legal">reported.</a>
It arrives just days after Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra's administration took office. The legislation allows cannabis and its extracts to be used for medical treatment and research by state agencies, while also approving its use in herbal remedies, food products, and cosmetics.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Softer Stance On Recreational Use</h3>
One key aspect of the bill is its omission of a clause that explicitly outlaws recreational cannabis use, which was part of an earlier draft under former Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin. 
The new version also abandons previous efforts to reclassify cannabis as a "narcotic," a significant shift from the original stance taken by the ruling Pheu Thai Party during last year&#8217;s national elections. 
While Pheu Thai initially vowed to restrict cannabis use to medical purposes over addiction concerns, opposition from the Bhumjaithai Party, a key coalition partner, has resulted in the plant remaining legal.
Despite this more lenient approach, penalties for those who use cannabis outside the bill's defined uses remain steep. 
Under the current draft, individuals caught using cannabis for purposes not specified in the legislation will face fines of up to 60,000 baht (approximately $1,803). Sellers of cannabis products not adhering to the law face even harsher penalties, including a possible one-year jail term, fines of up to 100,000 baht, or both.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Impacts On Thailand's Cannabis Boom</h3>
Thailand&#8217;s decriminalization of cannabis in 2022 led to the rapid rise of more than 9,400 cannabis dispensaries across the country, especially in popular tourist destinations and business hubs such as Bangkok. 
With this new bill, the government seeks to bring tighter control over this growing industry, requiring all cannabis growers, sellers and related businesses to apply for licenses or permits. Failure to comply could result in hefty fines or jail terms.
The draft legislation also calls for stricter regulations on the planting, sale, export and import of cannabis. Businesses that produce cannabis-infused goods, such as candies and baked goods, will be required to adhere to the current law, which mandates that these products contain no more than 0.2% THC, the psychoactive compound responsible for cannabis' "high" effect.
The public and industry stakeholders have until September 30 to submit their feedback on the draft legislation. The Ministry of Public Health will review the input and may make changes before presenting the bill to the cabinet. From there, it will head to parliament for approval, where it could still face further debate and revisions.

Thailand's New Cannabis Bill: Stricter Rules, But Marijuana Remains Legal

A significant Ukrainian drone assault on Russia caused an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/09/40888451/russia-to-expand-army-for-third-time-since-war-with-ukraine-began-defense-stocks-rtx-northrop-grumma">earthquake-sized eruption</a> at a major arsenal in the Tver region on Wednesday, forcing citizens in the city of Toropets to evacuate, according to reports from war bloggers and some media.
Unverified video and images on social media showed a huge ball of flame rising into the night sky and numerous explosion detonations tearing across a lake about 240 miles west of Moscow, Reuters reported.
NASA satellites registered intense heat sources coming from an area of about five square miles at the site in the early hours. Earthquake monitoring stations picked up the attack as a small earthquake&nbsp;in the area.
&#8220;The enemy hit an ammunition depot in the area of Toropets,&#8221; said Yuri Podolyaka, a Ukrainian-born, pro-Russian military blogger. &#8220;Everything that can burn is already burning there (and exploding).&#8221;

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, speaking in his nightly video address, praised the attack without mentioning the target.
&#8220;A very important result was achieved last night on Russian territory and such actions weaken the enemy,&#8221; Zelenskyy said. &#8220;I thank everyone involved. Such precision is truly inspiring.&#8221;
A source in Ukraine&#8217;s SBU state security service told Reuters earlier that the drone attack had destroyed&nbsp;a warehouse storing missiles, guided bombs and artillery ammunition.
Igor Rudenya, governor of the Tver region, said Ukrainian drones had been shot down, a fire had broken out and some residents were being evacuated. He did not say what was burning, Reuters reported.
The size of the main blast shown in the unverified social media video was consistent with 200 to 240 tons of high explosives detonating, said George William Herbert of the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey in California.
Some war bloggers asked how drones could trigger such large blasts at what was thought to be a highly fortified facility.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) shares are moving higher Wednesday. Here&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40917539/while-apple-abandoned-its-car-project-after-pouring-1b-into-it-its-key-supplier-foxconn-is-now-colla">what you need to know.</a>
What To Know: In significant economic development, the Federal Reserve instituted a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/09/40927293/powell-defends-0-5-interest-rate-drop-as-right-thing-for-the-economy-doubles-down"> 50 basis points cut</a>, bringing the federal funds rate to 4.75%–5%. This unexpected move, marking the first rate reduction in more than four years, reflects the Fed&#8217;s greater confidence in managing inflation. 
The Fed also revised its economic growth forecast for 2024 down to 2%. Inflation projections for the same year were also lowered, while unemployment rates were revised upward through 2026.
Future Rate Path: The updated Dot Plot suggests another 50 basis points in cuts in 2024 and an additional 100 basis points by the end of 2025, highlighting a more aggressive easing approach compared to previous projections. This outlook signals a significant shift from the Fed's earlier stance and impacts projections for economic metrics over the next few years.

What Else: The company formerly abandoned its electric vehicle (EV) project after significant investments. In contrast, its key supplier Hon Hai Precision Industry Co Ltd &#8211; ADR, also known as Foxconn, (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HNHPF#OTC">HNHPF</a>) is advancing in the EV market. Foxconn, collaborating with Sharp, recently unveiled the LDK+ electric vehicle prototype. Designed with a room-like interior, the LDK+ aims to serve as a personal space, highlighting the evolving role of vehicles in the autonomous driving era.
Foxconn demonstrated strategic acumen by focusing on modular EV platforms that allow for cost-efficient, unique model creation. The company has also approved a $246 million investment in Northern Vietnam for manufacturing EV parts, with operations expected to start in January 2025. This investment underscores Foxconn's commitment to enhancing its production capabilities and positioning itself as a notable player in the EV industry.
