On September 14, Direxion Daily MSCI South Korea Bull 3x Shares fell 10.4% in pre-market trading, trading at $20.25/share, with turnover of $6.0439 million.

On the news front, multiple headwinds converged to hammer Korean equities. OpenAI, Anthropic, and SpaceX AI issued a rare joint call to slow AI development, while OpenAI CEO Sam Altman confirmed the company would shelve its IPO plans. The announcement sent Korean memory chip leaders sharply lower, with SK Hynix falling nearly 6% and Samsung Electronics dropping over 3%, dragging the KOSPI index down more than 3%. Simultaneously, escalating Middle East tensions pushed oil prices higher, and U.S. August CPI data fueled expectations of a September Fed rate hike at roughly 90% probability, further pressuring Korea's export-driven economy and semiconductor valuations. The ETF's triple leverage amplified underlying losses significantly. Both SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics had seen heavy foreign net selling in recent sessions.

The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in financial instruments providing daily 3x leveraged exposure to the MSCI Korea 25/50 Index, covering approximately 85% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization of South Korean issuers. It is non-diversified.
