On September 10, Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bear 3x Shares rose 8.35% in regular trading, trading at $46.81/share, with turnover of $910 million. As a 3x leveraged inverse semiconductor ETF, its sharp gain reflects broad weakness across the semiconductor sector.

On the macro front, the U.S. Treasury announced a long-bond buyback cap of $6 billion, below market expectations, sending the 10-year Treasury yield up 6 basis points to 4.85%, a near three-year high. Simultaneously, Brent crude surged 3.36% to settle at $101.21 per barrel amid the ongoing U.S.-Iran military conflict, marking its first close above $100 since late July. The August PPI reading of 5.4% year-over-year exceeded the 5.3% consensus, with the prior month revised upward, cementing inflation stickiness and pushing CME-implied odds of a September Fed rate hike to 62%. The European Central Bank also raised rates by 25 basis points. The convergence of elevated rates, surging energy costs, and hawkish central bank expectations severely pressured high-valuation growth sectors, with semiconductors, cloud computing, and optical modules seeing broad-based declines.
