Movement Alert|Direxion Daily MSCI South Korea Bull 3x Shares Falls 8.2% in Regular Trading, Korean Stocks Fail to Hold Early Gains Ahead of Holiday

Market Focus
Sep 23

On September 23, Direxion Daily MSCI South Korea Bull 3x Shares declined 8.2% in regular trading, trading at $21.82/share, with turnover of approximately $150 million.

On the news front, despite Korea's KOSPI index opening sharply higher — buoyed by overnight rallies in U.S. semiconductor and memory chip stocks, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index gaining over 2% — the benchmark failed to sustain its early momentum. Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix each briefly surged over 3% at the open before fading. This mirrored a similar pattern on September 22, when KOSPI opened up 2.2% only to erase the entire 2.3% gain by close. With Korean markets scheduled to be closed on September 24 for a holiday, and following weeks of heavy offshore selling that left foreign positioning at depressed levels, some investors opted to lock in profits ahead of the break. As a triple-leveraged product, Direxion Daily MSCI South Korea Bull 3x Shares amplified the Korean market's intraday reversal.

The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in financial instruments such as swap agreements, ETFs that track the MSCI Korea index, and other instruments providing daily 3x leveraged exposure. The index covers approximately 85% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization of South Korean issuers. The fund is non-diversified.
