On July 7, Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3X Shares (SOXS) rose 9.35% in pre-market trading, trading at $4.55/share, with turnover of $51.73 million. As a triple-leveraged inverse semiconductor product, its rise signals renewed weakness in the semiconductor sector.

On the news front, after the semiconductor sector staged a strong rebound in the prior session driven by Micron Technology's $9.3 billion factory expansion in Hiroshima, Japan, profit-taking pressure has resurfaced. The new production line will focus on high-bandwidth memory chips for the AI era, with shipments expected no earlier than summer 2028. While the expansion plan validated sustained AI computing demand, the sharp prior-day recovery attracted sellers looking to lock in gains.

Adding to bearish sentiment, well-known investor Michael Burry has publicly shorted Micron Technology and semiconductor ETFs, warning that AI-related valuations are severely overextended and predicting the sector could face a 30% correction.

The fund invests at least 80% of net assets in financial instruments providing 3X daily inverse exposure to a modified float-adjusted market-cap-weighted index tracking the thirty largest U.S. listed semiconductor companies. The fund is non-diversified.
