Top Performing Leveraged/Inverse ETFs Last WeekThese were last week’s top performing leveraged and inverse ETFs. Note that because of leverage, these kinds of funds can move quickly. Always do your homework.1. SOXS – Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3x ETF The SOXS ETF, which inversely tracks the PHLX Semiconductor Index topped the list of levered/ inverse ETFs with 25%+ returns in the last week. U.S. semiconductor stocks fell due to growing investor anxiety over the sustainability of AI spending, underwhelming corporate forecasts, and tighter financial conditions. 2. SMHD – MicroSectors -3x Short Semiconductor ETN SMHD, which seeks to provide 3x the inverse daily closing price of the VettaFi Semiconductor Fund-Tracking Index, was another semiconductor-focused ETF ranking second on the list with over 21% weekly gains. 3. CURE – Direxion Daily Healthcare Bull 3x ETF The CURE ETF offers 3x daily leveraged exposure to an index of healthcare stocks, and is featured on the list. U.S. healthcare stocks surged and hit record highs as investors rotated away from technology and growth sectors into defensive value plays. The healthcare sector gained over 2% in the last five days. 4. HIBS – Direxion Daily S&P 500 High Beta Bear 3X ETF HIBS, which provides inverse exposure to the U.S. large-cap stocks, was present on the top performing levered/ inverse ETFs list this week. U.S. stocks fell last week primarily due to growing anxieties over the sustainability of massive AI spending and rising inflation fears driven by climbing oil and energy prices. 5. TECS – Direxion Daily Technology Bear 3X ETF The TECS ETF, which offers 3x daily short leverage to the Technology Select Sector Index, was on the list of top inverse ETFs as investors grew increasingly worried about the massive capital expenditures required for AI infrastructure and whether those huge investments will deliver a fast enough payoff. 6. BERZ – MicroSectors Solactive FANG & Innovation -3X Inverse Leveraged ETN Another tech-focused fund, the BERZ ETF, which provides daily -3x inverse exposure to an index of FANG and technology companies, also featured on the list of top-performing inverse ETFs with ~16% weekly returns. 7. NOWL – GraniteShares 2x Long NOW Daily ETF NOWL, which provides 2x leveraged exposure to the daily price movement for shares of ServiceNow, Inc. (NYSE: NOW) stock was one of the contenders on the list, with ~15% weekly gains. ServiceNow shares increased last week ahead of its upcoming Q3 earnings report and strong analyst backing. 8. KOLD – ProShares UltraShort Bloomberg Natural Gas KOLD, which offers daily inverse leveraged exposure to natural gas, was another top performing levered/ inverse ETF, returning over 15% last week. U.S. natural gas prices fell sharply last week primarily due to unseasonably warm weather forecasts that weakened near-term heating demand expectations, combined with abundant domestic supply and profit-taking after prior price spikes. 9. SSG – Proshares Ultrashort Semiconductors SSG ETF, which offers 2x daily short leverage to the Dow Jones U.S. Semiconductors Index, was another semiconductor-focused top performing inverse ETF featuring on the list, gaining by more than 14% last week. 10. FNGD – MicroSectors FANG+™ Index -3X Inverse Leveraged ETN Another tech-focused fund, the FNGD ETF, which provides inverse exposure to US big tech equity, was one of the contenders on the list of top inverse ETFs with 13% weekly gains.
