On July 8, Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3X ETF rose 8.54% in pre-market trading, trading at $5.26/share, with turnover of $112 million. As a 3x inverse semiconductor product, its rise reflects continued weakness across the chip sector.

On the news front, chip and storage stocks extended their decline overnight, with Intel down 1.40%, Marvell Technology down 1.37%, Micron Technology down 1.97%, and SanDisk down 1.77%. Navitas Semiconductor fell 7.58% after Wolfspeed filed a patent infringement lawsuit. Samsung Electronics reported Q2 revenue of 171 trillion KRW, slightly below the 173.9 trillion KRW expected by some institutions, triggering a classic sell-the-news reaction despite operating profit surging 1,810% year-over-year. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fell 4.63% on July 7, marking its fourth consecutive day of losses, as investors questioned whether AI-driven demand can sustain elevated valuations.

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