On September 4, Direxion Daily MU Bull 2X Shares rose 8.34% in regular trading, trading at $33.44/share, with turnover of $444 million. As a 2x leveraged ETF tracking Micron Technology (MU), the fund amplified MU's sharp intraday recovery, which saw the underlying stock swing from a session low of $918.88 to close near $958.16, gaining approximately 4% on the day.
The rebound came after storage chip stocks were broadly pressured earlier in the week by reports that the U.S. Commerce Department is developing a new semiconductor tariff policy that would exempt domestically produced chips while imposing costs on imports. South Korea's presidential office responded that the specifics remain undetermined, adding uncertainty. MU had declined over 2% on September 2 amid this tariff overhang, and storage stocks fell across the board on September 3.
Despite the Friday bounce, options market data throughout late August and early September showed persistently bearish large-block positioning, including bear call spreads capping upside near $980–$1,000 and significant put buying. MU remains roughly 20% below its June highs, and its 50-day moving average has yet to clearly establish itself as support or resistance.
