Macau casino stocks are in the spotlight as lighter COVID restrictions help traffic
The Macau casino sector is looking for a second day of gains on some incrementally good news on traffic trends for the first week of September. A new travel program in Hong Kong that will allow more Mainland visitors is also raising optimism levels.
Also in the mix, Bernstein analyst Vitaly Umansky thinks the region could see a long-term boost from China’s State Council announcement that Hengqin Island will be a special low-tax jurisdiction under co-governance by Guangdong and Macau.
