On July 7, the Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3X ETF (SOXS) rose 13.07% in regular trading, trading at $4.7693/share, with turnover of $664 million. As a triple-leveraged inverse semiconductor product, its surge reflects broad weakness across the semiconductor sector.
On the news front, after the semiconductor sector staged a strong rebound in the prior session driven by Micron Technology's $9.3 billion factory expansion in Hiroshima, Japan, profit-taking pressure resurfaced and intensified. Major semiconductor stocks declined sharply, with AMD falling 6.45%, Micron dropping 6.23%, Intel losing 4.79%, Broadcom sliding 2.01%, and NVIDIA dipping 1.64%, creating sector-wide selling pressure. Additionally, noted investor Michael Burry publicly shorted Micron and semiconductor ETFs, warning that AI-related valuations are severely stretched and predicting a potential 30% sector correction, further fueling bearish sentiment.
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.
