On August 6, Direxion Daily MU Bull 2X Shares declined 11.04% in regular trading, trading at $25.2/share, with turnover of $235 million. As a 2x leveraged ETF, its product structure amplified the decline of its underlying asset, Micron Technology.

On the news front, SanDisk reported earnings that beat expectations, but its current-quarter revenue guidance fell short of market consensus while gross margins showed signs of peaking. Citi and Jefferies subsequently cut their target prices on SanDisk. Meanwhile, Western Digital posted better-than-expected results, but the market deemed prior gains had already priced in the upside. The storage sector sold off broadly, with Western Digital falling over 16%, SanDisk dropping over 11%, SK Hynix declining nearly 7%, and Micron Technology losing over 5%. The 2x leverage structure further magnified the ETF's losses relative to its underlying holding.
