On June 18, Direxion Daily Technology Bull 3x (TECL) rose 6.7% in pre-market trading, trading at $231.38/share, with turnover of $103,200. The rally was driven by the continuation of a comprehensive price increase cycle across the global semiconductor supply chain, serving as the core catalyst for the broader technology sector.
Specifically, Japan's tungsten hexafluoride faces substantive supply disruption in July, while global silicon wafer leaders have already completed two rounds of price hikes within the year. Sputtering target material prices have surged over 40%, and semiconductor equipment manufacturers have proactively requested price increases of 3%-4%. SEMI has significantly raised its forecast for the global front-end equipment market to $152.2 billion, representing year-over-year growth of 23.5%. Meanwhile, AI computing demand continues to drive industry prosperity upward, with supply-demand tightness spreading from front-end to back-end processes, lifting the technology sector broadly.
