On August 3, Direxion Daily MU Bull 2X Shares fell 8.53% in pre-market trading, trading at $21.61/share, with turnover of $28.67 million.
The decline was driven by dual headwinds facing underlying asset Micron Technology. Reports indicate that Chinese memory chip maker CXMT plans to build a second DRAM factory in Beijing, which upon completion would more than double its current capacity, reigniting market concerns over global DRAM oversupply. Simultaneously, research firm SemiAnalysis published a report noting that NVIDIA Rubin Ultra preview specifications fell below market expectations, with AI server DRAM budgets notably contracting as manufacturers rebalance cost inputs amid persistently rising HBM prices.
As a 2x leveraged ETF, the product structure amplifies the underlying asset's movement, resulting in a pre-market decline significantly exceeding Micron's own approximate 3% drop. Peer SK Hynix also fell 2.73% in pre-market trading under the same pressures.
