On July 22, Direxion Daily MSCI South Korea Bull 3x Shares declined 8.01% in pre-market trading, trading at approximately $20.01/share, with turnover of $14.93 million. The pullback follows the prior sessions explosive 14.07% intraday surge driven by multiple investment banks issuing bottom-fishing signals and policy support from the Korean government.
JPMorgan noted in its latest report that deleveraging of Korean leveraged ETFs has been completed approximately 75%, with margin loan balances falling 13.6% from their peak. While the most violent selling pressure may have passed, the storage chip cycle outlook remains the biggest uncertainty. SK Hynix surged over 9% in the prior session as foreign investors turned net buyers for the first time in a month, exceeding $1 billion. However, analysts caution that while technical headwinds are beginning to clear, the fundamental test is just beginning, suggesting the recovery trajectory may face continued volatility.
The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in financial instruments providing daily 3x leveraged exposure to the MSCI Korea 25/50 Index, covering approximately 85% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization of South Korean issuers. It is non-diversified.
