On June 17, Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X ETF (SOXL) rose 5.71% in pre-market trading, trading at $243.6701/share, with turnover of approximately $41.69 million.
The semiconductor sector is benefiting from a confluence of bullish catalysts. Major global chipmakers including Infineon, STMicroelectronics, and Texas Instruments have announced new rounds of price increases effective from late June through July, driven by surging AI infrastructure demand and rising wafer fabrication costs. WSTS has raised its forecast for the global semiconductor market to $1.51 trillion for the year, while SEMI upgraded its front-end equipment market growth expectation from 16.5% to 23.5%, reaching $152.2 billion, reflecting AI-driven capital expenditure exceeding prior estimates. Additionally, supply-side constraints in 8-inch mature-node capacity continue to tighten, with utilization rates at 85%-90% and foundry pricing up 5%-20%, further supporting pricing power across the value chain.
The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in financial instruments that provide 3X daily leveraged exposure to an index tracking the thirty largest U.S. listed semiconductor companies. The fund is non-diversified.
