The GraniteShares 2x Long AMD Daily ETF (AMDL) experienced a sharp decline of 5.30% during intraday trading on Monday.
The drop appears linked to a report highlighting strategic challenges for chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). As major semiconductor companies, including AMD, pivot their research and production focus toward the lucrative AI chip market, concerns are rising about their commitment to high-precision "double-precision" computing crucial for supercomputing applications like nuclear weapons simulation at U.S. national laboratories. The report notes that this shift is prompting these key government customers to explore alternative chip suppliers, potentially increasing competition for AMD's core business in this sector.
