On July 1, Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3X Shares (SOXS) rose 11.11% in regular trading, trading at $3.6793/share, with turnover of $624 million.

On the news front, Morgan Stanley chief equity strategist Mike Wilson issued a warning that semiconductor stock price momentum is approaching historical extremes, with trajectory closely resembling silver stocks earlier this year — which rapidly faded after a brief euphoria. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index plunged 7.9% in a single week, while multiple leading chip stocks declined over 10%, as profit-taking pressure intensified following prior sharp gains. Wilson noted that recent weakness in hyperscaler stocks may signal that semiconductor EPS revision breadth has peaked, suggesting the sector is entering a phase of underperformance. He recommended reducing momentum exposure and rotating into consumer discretionary, transportation, and regional banks.

As a 3x leveraged inverse product tracking the 30 largest U.S.-listed semiconductor companies, SOXS mechanically amplified the underlying sector decline into significant upside for the fund.
