On August 25, Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bull 3x Shares rose 5.24% in pre-market trading, trading at approximately $114.50 per share, with turnover of $54.47 million. The rebound follows the fund's over 5% intraday decline on August 24.
Multiple catalysts drove the recovery. Alibaba announced that all proceeds from its 80 billion HKD share placement will be directed toward AI infrastructure investment, boosting confidence across the semiconductor supply chain. Additionally, NVIDIA is scheduled to report fiscal Q2 earnings after market close on August 26, with consensus estimates projecting revenue of approximately $92 billion, representing 96% year-over-year growth. Funds appear to be positioning ahead of the earnings release to capture potential upside from results validation.
The prior session's selloff was triggered by the U.S. 30-year Treasury yield hitting 5.337%, its highest since 2007, which pressured high-valuation growth stocks. The 3x leverage mechanism had amplified losses, and the current bounce reflects a partial mean-reversion as rate fears temporarily ease amid strong AI spending commitments.
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.
