On August 18, Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bear 3x Shares rose 8.31% in pre-market trading, trading at $41.41/share, with turnover of $26.28 million.

On the news front, Asia-Pacific semiconductor sectors experienced a broad pullback during the trading session. The Hong Kong Hang Seng Tech Index fell 1.99% by midday, with semiconductor stocks opening high then sliding lower. In mainland China, chip ETFs dropped over 2% intraday as internal divergence within the semiconductor supply chain intensified. AI large-model concept stocks also plunged sharply, with market risk appetite retreating notably.

Notably, the prior session saw the triple-leveraged long semiconductor ETF gain nearly 5%, creating significant short-term profit-taking pressure. As semiconductor bulls concentrated their exits, the selling momentum was amplified through SOXS's 3x inverse leverage mechanism, driving its pre-market surge.

The fund invests at least 80% of net assets in financial instruments that provide 3X daily inverse exposure to a modified float-adjusted market-cap-weighted index tracking the thirty largest U.S. listed semiconductor companies. The fund is non-diversified.
