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. RIOX – Defiance Daily Target 2X Long RIOT ETF RIOX aims to provide 2x long daily price performance of Riot Platforms, Inc., focusing on cryptocurrencies and cryptocurrency mining computers, topped the levered ETFs list with over 61% weekly gains. Riot Platforms experienced a significant increase, driven primarily by a strategic pivot towards AI infrastructure, substantial Bitcoin sales to fund this expansion, and a boost in board accountability. 2. SOXL – Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3x Shares SOXL, which offers 3x daily long leverage to the PHLX Semiconductor Index, was another contender on the list with over 44% returns last week. The semiconductor stocks continued to gain amid strong AI-driven demand, fueled by strong earnings projections in the AI sector and geopolitical tensions impacting supply chain sentiment. 3. KORU – Direxion Daily MSCI South Korea Bull 3X Shares KORU provides 300% daily leveraged exposure to an index of large- and mid-cap South Korean companies was another candidate on the list of top-performing leveraged ETFs last week, with over 39% returns. The South Korean market rose, driven by fading geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. This de-escalation reduced fears of oil supply shocks, boosting investor sentiment and attracting foreign buyers back to Korean equities. 4. AVGU – GraniteShares 2x Long AVGO Daily ETF AVGU provides 2x leveraged exposure to the daily price movement for shares of Broadcom Inc. (AVGO) stock. Broadcom shares increased last week due to surging optimism regarding its AI infrastructure business, anchored by new, major, multi-year deals to produce custom AI chips (ASICs) for Alphabet-owned Google. 5. AVGX – Defiance Daily Target 2X Long AVGO ETF AVGX, which seeks to deliver 2x leveraged exposure to the daily share price movement of Broadcom, was another contender on the top levered ETFs’ list with 38% weekly gains. 6. AMZZ – GraniteShares 2x Long AMZN Daily ETF AMZZ aims to deliver 2x the price return for a single day of Amazon stock (AMZN), and ranked on the list with 28%+ weekly gains. Amazon shares rose last week due to strong optimism regarding its AI initiatives, specifically with AWS AI services reaching a $15B+ revenue run rate and plans to monetize its custom AI chips. 7. AMZU – Direxion Daily AMZN Bull 2X ETF AMZU, which provides 2x leveraged exposure to the daily price movement for shares of Amazon stock, was another Amazon-focused fund on last week’s list. 8. AMDL – GraniteShares 2x Long AMD Daily ETF AMDL provides 2x leveraged exposure to the daily price movement for shares of Advanced Micro Devices stock made it to the list, with over 26% weekly gains. Investor optimism was fueled by partnerships and analyst upgrades, positioning AMD as a major competitor in the AI chip market, alongside general market rallies. 9. USD – ProShares Ultra Semiconductors ProShares Ultra Semiconductors (USD), which provides leveraged exposure to U.S. Semiconductor stocks, gained over 22% last week. Semiconductor stocks climbed further as massive AI demand and optimistic earnings outweighed supply chain concerns sparked by geopolitical tensions. 10. EDC – Direxion Daily MSCI Emerging Markets Bull 3x ETF EDC, which offers 3x daily long leverage to the broad-based MSCI Emerging Markets Index, was one of the best-performing ETFs in the last week. Emerging market shares rallied last week primarily due to easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and a corresponding drop in oil prices, which boosted global risk appetite. A, albeit temporary, two-week ceasefire in the U.S.-Iran conflict allowed investors to return to riskier assets, reversing previous sell-offs and driving a rebound.
