On August 12, Direxion Daily MSCI South Korea Bull 3x Shares rose 8.16% in pre-market trading, trading at $19.06/share, with turnover of $10.83 million.
On the news front, the Korean stock market deleveraging process is nearing completion, with KOSPI volatility declining and leverage scale along with margin balances contracting significantly, stabilizing overall market sentiment. Fitch previously assessed that Korea faces limited short-term systemic financial risk and that economic fundamentals remain resilient. Simultaneously, investor bullish sentiment on the Korean won turned positive for the first time in over 10 months, with the won briefly strengthening to its highest level in nearly 10 months. These multiple factors have driven short covering in Korean assets, with the triple-leveraged ETF structure further amplifying the rebound magnitude.
The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in financial instruments that provide daily leveraged exposure to the MSCI South Korea Index, which measures the performance of large- and mid-cap segments of the South Korean equity market, covering approximately 85% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization of South Korean issuers.
