On August 20, Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bull 3x Shares rose 5.02% overnight, trading at $126.93/share, with turnover of $342 million. The ETF rebounded after two consecutive trading days of steep losses driven by profit-taking and institutional de-risking signals.
The fund had surged over 5% on August 17 after global semiconductor Q2 earnings released clear bullish signals — demand exceeded expectations with foundry giants raising capex, pricing power spreading to equipment and materials, and memory leaders locking in multi-year profit floors through long-term agreements. However, 13F disclosures showing Mubadala clearing its Broadcom position and SoftBank cutting TSMC holdings by 71.5% triggered an 11%+ intraday plunge on August 18, followed by further 7%+ declines across chip ETFs on August 19. The overnight rebound reflects market stabilization after the two-day correction, with the Q2 bullish thesis remaining intact.
The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in financial instruments providing 3X daily leveraged exposure to the PHLX Semiconductor Sector Index, which tracks the thirty largest U.S. listed semiconductor companies. The fund is non-diversified.
