On July 30, Direxion Daily MU Bull 2X Shares rose 8.1% in pre-market trading, trading at $21.25/share, with turnover of $65.0005 million.
On the news front, the underlying asset Micron Technology rebounded 3.2% in pre-market trading to $762.18/share, with the broader storage sector rallying collectively. SanDisk surged over 6%, Western Digital gained nearly 5%, Seagate Technology rose over 4%, and SK Hynix climbed more than 3%.
The ETF had previously experienced consecutive sharp declines across multiple trading sessions after renowned investor Michael Burry disclosed an expanded short position in Micron Technology and the Philadelphia Semiconductor ETF, citing concerns that chip demand is being artificially driven through off-balance-sheet financing arrangements rather than genuine end-customer demand. As a 2x leveraged ETF, the product's structural characteristics amplified the underlying asset's rebound magnitude, resulting in gains significantly exceeding those of the target stock itself.
