On July 29, Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bull 3x Shares rose 5.12% overnight, trading at $115.4/share, with turnover of $69.87 million. The rebound came after the fund suffered a dramatic intraday plunge exceeding 15% in the prior session amid a global semiconductor selloff.
The overnight recovery was supported by NXP Semiconductors reporting second-quarter results that exceeded market expectations on both revenue and profit, while also providing above-consensus third-quarter guidance with adjusted EPS of $3.89 to $4.32 and revenue of $3.65 billion to $3.85 billion. The positive earnings data offered fundamental support to the battered chip sector.
The prior session's extreme selling was triggered by concerns over AI capital expenditure sustainability after NVIDIA was reported to be providing approximately $250 billion in financing guarantees for OpenAI, reigniting fears of circular financing logic in AI infrastructure investment. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index had fallen nearly 5%, with NVIDIA dropping approximately 5% and AMD declining about 8%, pushing chip stocks to their lowest levels in over two months. As a 3x leveraged ETF tracking the semiconductor index, the fund's volatility is significantly amplified in both directions.
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.
