The Direxion Daily S&P 500 Bear 3X ETF (SPXS) saw upward movement as the S&P 500 index experienced a decline, driven by losses in major technology stocks. On November 27, 2024, the S&P 500 fell 0.4%, snapping a seven-day winning streak, while the Nasdaq composite, heavily weighted with tech stocks, dropped 0.6%. Key tech players like Nvidia, Microsoft, and Broadcom contributed to the downturn, with Nvidia and Microsoft each falling 1.2% and Broadcom dropping 3.1%. The decline in tech stocks was further exacerbated by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's warning about the premature state of AI technology, which cast doubt on the anticipated productivity boost from AI and led to a sell-off in tech-heavy ETFs like the Invesco QQQ Trust.
The SPXS ETF closed at $5.95, marking a 1.19% increase for the day, with a slight decline of 0.34% in after-hours trading.
