On July 1, Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3X Shares rose 8.02% in pre-market trading, trading at $3.50/share, with turnover of $95.42 million.
On the news front, Morgan Stanley chief equity strategist Mike Wilson issued a warning that semiconductor stock price momentum is approaching historical extremes, drawing a direct parallel to silver stocks earlier this year — which fizzled rapidly after a brief surge. Wilson expects the sector to peak and give way to a broader-based market rally. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index had previously suffered a single-week decline of 7.9%, following a 7.3% gain the prior week, creating violent oscillations that make historically high exposure levels difficult to maintain. Wilson recommends investors reduce momentum trade exposure and rotate into consumer discretionary, transportation, and regional bank sectors.
As a triple-leveraged inverse product tracking the 30 largest U.S.-listed semiconductor companies, the underlying sector weakness is amplified through its leverage structure, driving the product significantly higher.
The fund invests at least 80% of net assets in financial instruments that provide 3X daily inverse exposure to the index, tracking the thirty largest U.S. listed semiconductor companies. The fund is non-diversified.
