On September 17, Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bear 3x Shares fell 8.02% in pre-market trading to $46.1091/share, with turnover of $87.6538 million. As a 3x inverse ETF tracking the thirty largest U.S. semiconductor companies, its sharp decline reflects a broad rebound across the chip sector.
On the news front, multiple catalysts are driving semiconductor strength. According to Korean tech media reports, delivery lead times for key semiconductor equipment parts have more than doubled, with some Japan-sourced components extending to 40 months, signaling severe supply tightness. Meanwhile, analysts noted that global semiconductor equipment parts are experiencing a rare full-chain price increase wave, with pricing power structurally shifting from chip end-products toward equipment and components. SEMI forecasts global semiconductor manufacturing equipment sales will hit a record $165.9 billion this year, up 23.2% year-over-year, with growth expected to continue through 2028. The rebound also carries an oversold repair element, as the sector suffered a steep selloff on September 14 when the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index plunged over 5% amid AI safety concerns and rate hike fears.
The fund invests at least 80% of net assets in financial instruments providing 3x daily inverse exposure to an index tracking the thirty largest U.S. listed semiconductor companies. The fund is non-diversified.
