On October 8, Direxion Daily MSCI South Korea Bull 3x Shares fell 8.47% in regular trading, trading at $18.24/share, with Turnover of $2.52 billion.
The leveraged ETF's decline reflects continued weakness in the Korean equity market, as the KOSPI index closed down 2.6% at 6625.93 points, with the chip sector leading the downturn. Despite Samsung Electronics reporting record preliminary third-quarter results with operating profit surging 783% year-over-year, foreign and institutional investors engaged in concentrated profit-taking, while rising US Treasury yields and surging international oil prices fueled inflation concerns across Asia-Pacific markets.
The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in financial instruments such as swap agreements and ETFs that provide daily leveraged exposure to the MSCI South Korea Index, which covers approximately 85% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization of South Korean issuers.
