On June 26, Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3X Shares (SOXS) rose 11.57% in regular trading, trading at $4.1102/share, with turnover of $514 million.
On the news front, the semiconductor sector experienced broad-based weakness during the session, with Micron Technology down over 5%, Marvell Technology down over 4%, Intel and AMD each down over 3%. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index had previously posted a single-day decline of nearly 8%, with multiple leading chip stocks falling over 10%. Additionally, ON Semiconductor plunged over 18% following its announcement of a roughly $7 billion acquisition of Synaptics, further weighing on sector sentiment.
The sector faced concentrated profit-taking pressure following a substantial prior rally, with a failed rebound in the preceding session reinforcing bearish momentum. As a triple-leveraged inverse ETF tracking the semiconductor index, SOXS mechanically amplifies underlying sector declines by three times, driving the product significantly higher as the sector weakened.
The fund invests at least 80% of net assets in financial instruments providing 3X daily inverse exposure to the index tracking the thirty largest U.S. listed semiconductor companies. The fund is non-diversified.
