On July 21, Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3X Shares (SOXS) declined 15% in regular trading, trading at approximately $47.14/share, with turnover of $621 million.
On the news front, the global semiconductor sector staged a sharp oversold rebound after the prior selloff triggered by South Korea's Financial Services Commission tightening regulations on single-stock leveraged ETFs. Asian markets rallied strongly, with the KOSPI index surging over 4%, Taiwan's Weighted Index climbing more than 3%, and the Nikkei 225 advancing over 2%. The semiconductor sector had plunged more than 32% cumulatively over the preceding seven trading sessions, and concentrated mean-reversion momentum drove the recovery.
As a 3x inverse leveraged ETF tracking the 30 largest U.S.-listed semiconductor companies, SOXS mechanically amplifies losses when the underlying sector rebounds. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index had previously entered a technical bear market during the selloff, and the current snap-back intensified downward pressure on the inverse product.
