On August 28, Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bull 3x Shares declined 5.23% in regular trading, trading at $115.73/share, with turnover of $2.62 billion.
On the news front, Fed Chair Wosh stated at an annual economic symposium that inflation remains too high, which markets interpreted as a potential rate hike signal, sending the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index down 1%. Simultaneously, chip design firm Marvell Technology tumbled 7% intraday despite reporting better-than-expected earnings, intensifying selling pressure across the sector.
The decline followed a multi-day rally driven by NVIDIA's Q2 earnings beat — revenue of $96.2 billion surpassing consensus estimates of $92.38 billion — which had pushed the ETF up over 6% in the prior session. Profit-taking pressure combined with the hawkish macro shift triggered a reversal, with the fund's 3x leverage mechanism amplifying the sector's losses.
The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in financial instruments that provide 3X daily leveraged exposure to a rules-based, modified float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index tracking the thirty largest U.S. listed semiconductor companies. The fund is non-diversified.
