On July 17, Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3X Shares rose 5.02% overnight, trading at $54.49/share, with turnover of $35.96 million.
On the news front, the global semiconductor selloff continued to intensify, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index falling 4.3% in a single day and declining more than 22% from its mid-June high, officially entering a technical bear market. Market concerns over whether AI capital expenditure can sustainably translate into earnings growth have deepened, compounding profit-taking pressure after the index had surged 78% year-to-date with trading crowdedness at historically elevated levels.
As a 3x leveraged inverse ETF tracking the semiconductor sector, SOXS amplified gains through its reverse leverage mechanism as the underlying index declined sharply. The broader selloff saw Asian semiconductor stocks extend weakness, with South Korea's KOSPI index triggering circuit breakers earlier in the week and SK Hynix plunging over 14%.
The fund invests at least 80% of net assets in financial instruments that provide 3X daily inverse exposure to an index tracking the thirty largest U.S. listed semiconductor companies. The fund is non-diversified.
