SHANGHAI/SINGAPORE : Shares in some Chinese temple operators and lottery sellers surged for a second day on Thursday amid a weak post-COVID recovery, as despondent young people rush to pray or gamble amid greater economic uncertainty.
In stark contrast, the youth unemployment rate hit a record 20.4 per cent in April, and multiple indicators showed economic recovery is losing steam following an initial bounce after China lifted its zero-COVID policy.Emei Shan Tourism Co, operator of the Mount Emei scenic spot, and Anhui Jiuhuashan Tourism Development Co, operator of the Jiuhua Mountain, both saw their shares soar 10 per cent to hit the daily limit for a second day on Thursday.
China Sports Industry Group, the listed company behind the state-run sports lotteries business, also surged 10 per cent for two consecutive sessions. "I don't expect the youth unemployment rate to see an inflection point soon as the graduation season approaches," he said."Meanwhile, as the summer holiday comes, the youth will have more time to travel."
