On May 10, Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X ETF (SOXL) rose 5.03% overnight, trading at $185.94/share, with trading volume of approximately $187 million. The ETF reached a fresh 52-week high during the session, continuing a powerful upward momentum that has seen multi-day consecutive gains.
On the news front, U.S. large-cap technology stocks posted broad-based gains, with the Nasdaq and S&P 500 extending rallies to fresh historic highs. The underlying semiconductor sector has been a key beneficiary of the tech-led advance, with the 3x leveraged ETF amplifying the move. Earlier in the week, SOXL surged over 15% in a single session, and the compounding effect of the leveraged structure has driven the fund from around $152 levels to nearly $186 within days.
The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in financial instruments providing 3x daily leveraged exposure to an index tracking the thirty largest U.S. listed semiconductor companies. As a non-diversified, leveraged product, its price movements are significantly amplified relative to the underlying sector.
