On September 4, Direxion Daily MSCI South Korea Bull 3x Shares rose 8.42% in regular trading, trading at $22.5/share, with turnover of $328 million.

On the news front, Korean semiconductor heavyweights staged a broad rally, driving the KOSPI index up 1.64% on the day. SK Hynix surged over 5% while Samsung Electronics gained 3%, with the memory chip duo leading the entire market higher. Overnight, the Nasdaq closed up 1.4%, buoyed by Broadcom's forecast of robust AI chip sales growth over the next two years, which lifted global semiconductor sentiment. Additionally, South Korea's seasonally adjusted August exports rose 72.5% year-over-year, with semiconductors continuing to serve as the primary engine of export growth, providing fundamental support for the Korean equity rebound.

The rally follows a period of pressure on Korean equities after the Bank of Korea raised interest rates by 25 basis points for the second consecutive time to 3.0% on August 27, with the six-month median rate forecast lifted further to 3.25%.
