SMH3.L is trading at $15.94 (+13.43%) as short-term recovery buying follows the August 24 semiconductor selloff.
- The prior decline was broad-based: NVIDIA was down 2.91%, Micron 5.83%, Broadcom 2.6%, and SOXX more than 2.5%.
- The August 25 rebound appears driven by firmer technology futures and is amplified by SMH3.L’s 3x leveraged structure.
- Investor positioning remains sensitive to NVIDIA’s August 26 earnings and AI-spending expectations.
