On October 7, Direxion Daily MSCI South Korea Bull 3x Shares fell 8.54% in regular trading, trading at $19.3398 per share, with turnover of $168 million. The decline was amplified by the fund's triple leverage against a weakening South Korean equity market.
The KOSPI index closed down 1.98% at 6803.90, falling below the 7000 level for the second consecutive session. Rising local government bond yields, with the 3-year yield climbing to 3.950%, continued to pressure technology and growth stock valuations amid elevated risk-free rates.
