On July 21, Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3X Shares (SOXS) fell 9.87% in pre-market trading, trading at $47.96/share, with turnover of $30.86 million.
On the news front, the global semiconductor sector is experiencing a sharp oversold rebound following the severe selloff triggered by Korea's Financial Services Commission tightening single-stock leveraged ETF regulations. Asian markets rallied strongly, with Korea's KOSPI surging over 4%, Taiwan's Weighted Index gaining over 3%, and the Nikkei 225 rising over 2%. The semiconductor sector had previously declined more than 32% over seven consecutive trading days, with concentrated short-covering and oversold recovery momentum now driving the reversal. Nearly 40 semiconductor stocks hit daily limit-up or gained over 10% in Asian sessions.
As a triple-leveraged inverse semiconductor ETF, SOXS mechanically amplifies losses when the underlying sector rallies, extending its decline from the prior session. The fund invests at least 80% of net assets in financial instruments providing 3X daily inverse exposure to an index tracking the thirty largest U.S. listed semiconductor companies.
