On September 17, Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bear 3x Shares declined 8.92% in regular trading, trading at $45.65/share, with turnover of $520 million. As a 3x leveraged inverse semiconductor ETF, its sharp drop corresponds to a broad-based rebound across the chip sector.

On the news front, the Federal Reserve delivered a widely anticipated 25-basis-point rate hike overnight, with markets having already priced in the probability above 92%. The confirmation of the hike was interpreted as short-term negative news being fully exhausted, triggering a relief rally in risk assets. Institutions noted that the current AI-driven technology cycle is underpinned by strong industrial trends and earnings support, and the Fed is unlikely to deliver consecutive rate hikes, suggesting the post-adjustment period may present a re-entry window for tech stocks. The rebound follows a turbulent stretch in which multiple headwinds — including AI leaders calling for a slowdown in advanced model development and a spike in oil prices due to Middle East tensions — had previously hammered semiconductor names, pushing SOXS up nearly 17% on September 14.

The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in financial instruments that, in combination, provide 3x daily inverse exposure to an index tracking the thirty largest U.S. listed semiconductor companies. The fund is non-diversified.
