Direxion Daily MU Bull 2X Shares (MUU) soared 11.00% during intraday trading on Tuesday.
The leveraged exchange-traded fund, which seeks to deliver twice the daily performance of Micron Technology Inc. (MU), experienced significant upward momentum following reports that Micron is set to announce a major investment to build a new memory chip production line in Singapore. The expansion aims to address the severe global shortage of memory chips, particularly NAND flash memory capacity.
Such a capital expenditure announcement is typically viewed positively by investors, as it signals confidence in future demand and growth prospects. The anticipation of this news drove buying interest in Micron shares, which was amplified in the price of the 2X bull ETF.
