On October 16, Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bull 3x Shares fell 5.51% in Regular Trading, trading at $100.4382, with turnover of $1.041 billion.
The move aligns with fresh signs of worsening US inflation and continued hawkish Federal Reserve signaling, which pressured high-valuation technology and semiconductor shares and pushed the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index lower.
Recent market updates indicated this leveraged ETF was already down 5.26% before the session at around $101.68 on heavy trading, while Nasdaq futures weakened and semiconductor and memory names remained under pressure. Earlier reports also noted the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index had fallen 12% over six sessions, underscoring how a 3x daily leveraged product can amplify index declines.
