On July 7, Direxion Daily South Korea Bull 3X Shares (KORU) fell 8.23% overnight, trading at $572.99/share, with turnover of $14.106 million.
On the news front, Samsung Electronics released its second-quarter earnings preview after hours, reporting total revenue of 171 trillion KRW, falling short of market consensus expectations of 173.9 trillion KRW. While operating profit of 89.4 trillion KRW surged 1,810% year-over-year and slightly beat forecasts, the revenue miss reignited concerns over storage chip demand momentum. U.S.-listed memory stocks declined in sympathy, with Micron Technology dropping over 1.7% and Western Digital falling 3.29% in after-hours trading, pressuring the broader semiconductor complex.
The overnight pullback follows a dramatic 15.99% intraday surge on July 6, driven by South Korea's V-shaped market rebound and the landmark launch of 24-hour KRW/USD spot trading. The Samsung revenue shortfall has partially reversed that recovery, highlighting persistent volatility in leveraged Korean equity products amid shifting sentiment around global AI hardware demand.
