On September 11, Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bull 3x Shares rose 5.03% in pre-market trading, trading at $121.25/share, with turnover of $335 million. The rally was driven by multiple positive catalysts converging across the semiconductor equipment sector.

On the data front, SEMI released its latest report showing global semiconductor equipment sales reached $40.53 billion in Q2, surging 23% year-over-year and 11% quarter-over-quarter, marking consecutive quarters of record-breaking figures.

Adding to the bullish sentiment, Broadcom recently posted blockbuster Q3 fiscal results with non-GAAP net income of $16.372 billion, up 95% year-over-year. XPU shipments surged over 3.5x, contributing roughly 73% of AI semiconductor revenue, while management unveiled a $230 billion long-term AI semiconductor outlook that significantly boosted market confidence in AI compute demand.
