The stock market rally yesterday featured industries in line to get federal relief from a new $2 Trillion bill passed by the Congress and signed by President Trump. These CBD stocks jumped even though this classification is not due to receive federal payments in the near future. Although national online sales of CBD spiked online by 230% before coronavirus quarantine orders, the Small Business Administration (SBA) was reported to have told CBD and cannabis-related firms applicants for relief that they were ineligible because while they might be legal by state or local governments, they were not approved federally.
CBD Or Cannabis Companies Not Eligible For SBA Relief Loans?
CBD and cannabis customers stocked up on product prior to being shut-ins at home during the coronavirus crisis. CBD companies may be ineligible for federal relief loans. Several websites said that CBD and cannabis-related companies — growers, dispensers, retailers — will not be eligible for SBA business relief loans from the impact of the coronavirus. According to one local article, an SBA spokesperson said even if a business is legal under local or state law it would not be eligible for the federal relief loans because the product is not permitted under federal law.
All of that makes the rally in CBD stocks yesterday even more remarkable because it was not relief loan-driven, as perhaps investors saw them for other industries.
