On July 10, 2x Long MU ETF-Direxion declined 6.17% in regular trading, trading at $728.445/share, with turnover of $227 million.
On the news front, the underlying stock Micron Technology had surged over 4% the previous trading day after announcing more than $250 billion in U.S. investment through 2035, coupled with Bank of America reiterating its Buy rating. However, the market broadly characterized that rally as a technical recovery from oversold conditions rather than a trend reversal.
The primary pressure stems from all three global memory giants announcing massive capacity expansions within a single week. Samsung and SK Hynix committed a combined $880 billion, while Micron pledged $250 billion, triggering significant mid-to-long-term overcapacity concerns across the storage chip sector. Additionally, noted investor Michael Burry's short position on Micron established at $1,051.87 remains open, and Micron's downtrend of over 20% from its post-earnings high has yet to reverse. The ETF's 2x leverage mechanism further amplified the pullback magnitude.
