On October 15, Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bull 3x Shares fell 11.29% in Regular Trading, trading at $98.088 with turnover of $2.512 billion.
The move followed worsening US inflation data and continued hawkish Federal Reserve signals, which pressured high-valuation technology and semiconductor shares and pushed the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index lower.
Recent market updates showed the leveraged semiconductor ETF already down 6.98% in pre-market trading on October 15 after earlier declines in overnight and after-hours sessions, while semiconductor, memory, and optical-communication names remained weak, with AMD, Marvell, and SanDisk each down about 2% in late trading. Because the fund seeks 3x daily exposure to the PHLX Semiconductor Sector Index, declines in the underlying index can materially amplify the ETF’s losses.
The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in financial instruments, such as swap agreements, securities of the index, and ETFs that track the index, that, in combination, provide 3X daily leveraged exposure to the index, consistent with the fund's investment objective. The index is a rules-based, modified float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index that tracks the performance of the thirty largest U.S. listed semiconductor companies. The fund is non-diversified.
