Ricki - that's a very good question and one that all of us would like to know! It's welcome naturally and notice the lighter more cheery tone on the board today. No one whinging that the P3 trial RNS hasn't dropped today!
So whats the reason? Well I would rule out TO rumours. If that were a serious suggestion out in the market as opposed to circulating on a BB this would be up more than 13% I assure you! It could be that the vaccine euphoria is wearing off and people are coming back to this now as they realise vaccines aren't the 'silver bullet' and, even if they were, the reality that there will still be plenty enough demand for effective therapeutics going forward.
Then there's momentum. Lots of people watching this on the sidelines are waiting for a signal to get back in. They see the price rise. The more it goes up, the more people get attracted. We had an example of panic buying in this last week in the last hour of trading. The buying today is more measured and persistent.
Or it could be an Institution like Polar loading up still......
OR, and this is the one I am hoping it IS linked to, is possible developments in the US.
It could be one or many things but the most important thing is the SP is rising!
