Magic Empire Global (NASDAQ:MEGL) stock is rocketing higher on Thursday despite a lack of news from the Hong Kong financial services provider.
Instead, it looks like speculation from traders is behind today’s rally. This comes as Chinese and Hong Kong stocks are climbing higher as Covid-19 restrictions end in the country. That has some traders hoping for an economic boon for Chinese stocks.
To go along with that, Alibaba’s (NYSE:BABA) Ant Group got approval for an increase in financing from the Chinese government. That has also been helping Chinese stocks rally lately alongside the Covid-19 news.
MEGL May Regain Meme Stock Status
Volatile trading of MEGL stock is nothing new. The company’s shares were once considered a meme stock as wild swings were frequent for the company. With the renewed interest in Chinese and Hong Kong stocks, that could happen again.
However, traders will want to be careful about buying on the rally. It’s possible the stock won’t be able to maintain its current value. If that happens, some traders could be left holding the bag if the price collapses.
Investors will also note MEGL stock is seeing heavy trading today. As of this writing, more than 15 million shares of the stock have changed hands. That’s a massive leap over its daily average trading volume of about 417,000 shares.
MEGL stock is up 83.2% as of Thursday morning.
