English term or phrase: to drift off under light trading volume
As I have said before, I can’t answer individual emails but in general the answer seems pretty simple under the circumstances (at least to me): the share price has drifted off under light trading volume with the markets waiting on more finance news.

Context: Newsletter for a mining company

Explanation:
Ist "to drift off" nicht eine Redewendung im Sinne von "träumen" "einschlafen" "nicht bei der Sache sein" usw.? + in diesem Sinne wäre mein Alternativvorschlag: der Aktienkurs stagnierte [verhielt / ruhte usw.] bei geringem Handelsvolumen ... + MfG, Olaf
