On July 21, Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares ETF rose 14.76% in regular trading, trading at $154.1/share, with turnover of $1.776 billion. Multiple bullish catalysts converged to drive the sharp rebound.
On the news front, market research firm Omdia significantly raised its full-year China semiconductor market growth forecast to 92.9%, projecting market size to reach $812.08 billion. SEMI forecast global semiconductor equipment sales to grow 23.2% year-over-year to $165.9 billion. Additionally, AMD officially launched its first rack-scale AI system Helios and announced Microsoft joining its customer base, a move widely viewed as a strong challenge to NVIDIA's dominance in AI computing.
The ETF had previously plunged nearly 15% due to Korean regulatory tightening and a broad semiconductor sell-off, making the current rally partly attributable to oversold technical recovery. Expectations surrounding upcoming tech giant earnings this week further bolstered market sentiment.
The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in financial instruments that provide 3X daily leveraged exposure to a modified float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index tracking the thirty largest U.S. listed semiconductor companies. The fund is non-diversified.
