The financial instrument in which the Fund most commonly invests is swap agreements which are intended to produce economically leveraged investment results. The Fund will enter into one or more swap agreements with major global financial institutions whereby the Fund and the global financial institution will agree to exchange the return earned on an investment by the Fund in AVGO that is equal, on a daily basis, to 200% of the value of the Fund's net assets. The Adviser attempts to consistently apply leverage to obtain AVGO exposure for the Fund equal to 200% of the value of its net assets and expects to rebalance the Funds holdings daily to maintain such exposure. As a result of its investment strategies, the Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which AVGO is assigned.

President Donald Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">rising trade tariffs</a> are rocking financial markets, testing the dollar&#8217;s supremacy and shaking Treasury yields. Although <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44774499/wall-street-panic-extends-to-main-street-as-us-china-trade-war-escalates-bond-vigilantes-make-a-comeback-this-week-in-markets">Wall Street experienced a midweek rally</a>, investor mood turned sour soon after China hit back with steep counter-tariffs.
In the midst of mayhem, a few <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">niche ETFs stood out</a> as top performers last week:
Direxion Daily AVGO Bull 2X Shares (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVL#NASDAQ">AVL</a>), up 33.9%
This ETF provides 2x daily leverage to Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), which soared on favorable semiconductor tailwinds. The jump was on the heels of Broadcom&#8217;s solid AI infrastructure demand and upbeat investor sentiment around its hyperscaler and networking clientele exposure. 
Simplify Gold Strategy PLUS Income ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/YGLD#NYSE">YGLD</a>), up 20.7%
This fund combines conventional gold exposure with income-generation tactics, utilizing derivatives to generate additional returns. When gold prices soared above $3,200 an ounce during dollar weakness and investor fear, the ETF profited from both the commodity price rise and the options-based premium pick-up. Its two-in-one mandate proved to be a winning asset in a week when both inflation fears and geopolitical concerns reemerged into the spotlight.
Defiance Daily Target 2X Long RGTI ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGTX#NASDAQ">RGTX</a>), up 15.8%
This ETF provides 2x daily exposure to Rigetti Computing Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGTI#NASDAQ">RGTI</a>), a hardware developer of quantum computing. The ETF&#8217;s high gain is the result of increasing investor interest in AI-adjacent and quantum tech plays — particularly as defense, cybersecurity and enterprise computer companies with ambitions in quantum start to gain focus in a technology-heavy market.
Simplify Interest Rate Hedge ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFIX#NYSE">PFIX</a>), up 12.4%
When bond yields skyrocketed and long-term Treasuries fell out of favor, this ETF — a vehicle for hedging against increases in long-term interest rates — performed well. It takes mainly over-the-counter interest rate options and derivatives and makes money off of yield spikes. As the 10-year Treasury yield crossed above 4.5% and the 30-year topped 5%, this fund became a go-to tool for those wanting to cushion portfolios against shocks from interest rates.
Teucrium 2x Daily Corn ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CXRN#NYSE">CXRN</a>), up 10.8%
Chicago corn futures surged last week, perhaps fueled by strong demand on speculation regarding tariff effects on farm trade. This leveraged fund that aims for 2x daily returns on corn prices captured the pop in soft commodities.
Treasuries, Dollar, Inflation And More
Trump&#8217;s brash trade tariffs shook not only Wall Street but also the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/treasuries/25/04/44774759/from-boring-to-booming-how-treasury-etfs-are-beating-the-bear">U.S. Treasury market</a> last week. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/currency-etfs/25/04/44778378/greenback-on-the-brink-the-dollar-etfs-everyones-watching">dollar was also affected</a>, eroding faith in the decades-old story of &#8220;American exceptionalism.&#8221; The trade-weighted dollar has fallen to a level not seen since April 2022, 10% lower since Trump came to Office.
Even as it cooled inflation, bond markets responded negatively, with long-term Treasury yields rising — the 10-year yield crossed 4.5% and the 30-year touched 5% briefly — indicating a return of bond vigilantes. Gold jumped above $3,200 an ounce as investors turned to safe havens.
Markets experienced a short-lived rally after the White House suspended 90-day tariffs (apart from China), but hopes were dashed as the White House did not waver from its hardline approach and China responded with aggressive counter-tariffs. 
Consumer sentiment has been hurt, with the University of Michigan&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44764554/consumer-sentiment-crashes-to-3-year-lows-as-inflation-expectations-spike-to-1981-highs">sentiment gauge dropping to a new low</a> since 2022. Inflation outlook also spiked, with short-term projections reaching 6.7% — an all-time high since 1981 — to signal heightened unease on Main Street.

Broadcom Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) stock price soared 38% over two sessions — its strongest two-day rally since <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-does-ipo-mean">going public in 2009</a>.
A blowout earnings report, bullish analyst updates, and promising artificial intelligence (AI) developments vaulted the semiconductor company into the elite <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/12/42488220/broadcom-hits-1-trillion-milestone-the-next-magnificent-tech-giant">trillion-dollar market-cap club.</a>
The impressive surge began on Friday, following <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42480891/broadcom-reports-four-fold-increase-in-ai-chips-revenue-expects-continued-momentum-boasts-of-cost-reduction-in-vmware-after-acquisition-heres-what-happened">Broadcom&#8217;s latest earnings announcement</a>, with shares climbing 24.4% in a single day. The momentum continued into Monday, where the stock advanced another 11%, pushing Broadcom&#8217;s market cap from $850 billion to $1.17 trillion in just 48 hours. 
This achievement places the company alongside tech giants such as Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>), NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Alphabet Inc.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Earnings and AI Tailwinds Fuel Optimism</h3>
Broadcom released earnings after the market closed last Thursday. Investors felt encouraged by the company's robust revenue growth due to surging demand for AI-related chips.
The semiconductor manufacturer also revealed its ongoing collaboration with Apple to develop a custom AI chip, underscoring its expanding role in enabling next-generation AI technology.
Adding to the bullish sentiment, Goldman Sachs analyst Toshiya Hari reiterated on Monday a "Buy" rating for Broadcom and raised the stock's 12-month price target from $190 to $240, labeling the company as a "key enabler of generative AI."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Leveraged ETF Gains: Direxion AVL Nearly Doubles</h3>
Broadcom&#8217;s stock surge also had a dramatic impact on the Direxion Daily Broadcom Bull 2X Shares ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVL#NASDAQ">AVL</a>), which offers leveraged exposure to the company's daily stock performance.
In just two sessions, the ETF skyrocketed 84%, reflecting Broadcom&#8217;s remarkable gains.

Broadcom Enhances Open-Source Ecosystem with Bitnami Premium Release

Bullish speculators seemingly lack no shortage of justifications for their stance in semiconductor and software giant Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>). Earlier in the week, AVGO stock shot up amid the backdrop of the U.S. government announcing its<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/12/42265847/biden-targets-china-with-new-chip-restrictions-nvidia-slides"> latest round of sanctions</a>, specifically<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42269243/whats-going-on-with-broadcom-avgo-stock"> targeting the Chinese semiconductor industry</a>.
Notably, the Biden administration's export controls will likely impose additional challenges for Chinese chipmakers. In turn, the obstruction may shift demand toward alternative suppliers like Broadcom. With the company leveraging a substantial presence in high-bandwidth networking chips and custom semiconductors – both being critical for artificial intelligence – AVGO stock may have become a geopolitical beneficiary.
A day later, Benzinga reported<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/options/24/12/42293909/broadcoms-options-frenzy-what-you-need-to-know"> unusual options activity</a> of a noticeably bullish posture entering the derivatives arena. On the optimistic end, a pricing analysis revealed the possibility of AVGO stock reaching $195 per share. At the same time, pessimists appeared to target the $115 level.
So far, the bulls have been gaining control of the overall narrative. On Thursday, the company launched its 3.5D eXtreme Dimension System in Package (XDSiP) technology. This<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42346897/whats-going-on-with-broadcom-shares-on-thursday"> innovation</a> enables consumer AI customers to develop <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/g42339240/broadcom-delivers-industrys-first-3-5d-f2f-technology-for-ai-xpus">advanced accelerators (XPUs)</a>. With multiple upside catalysts to point to, many adventurous investors may see little reason to consider the short side of the argument. However, surprising pricing dynamics may imply a much wider-than-expected playground.
It&#8217;s true that over the past one-year period, AVGO stock returned nearly 89%. However, on a day-to-day basis – defined as the performance between the opening and closing prices of the same session – there are more down days (131) than there are up days (121).
The Direxion ETFs: Such a counterintuitive framework segues into a discussion of leveraged and inverse exchange-traded funds. For traders who anticipate that a positive session is about to materialize, the Direxion Daily AVGO Bull 2X Shares (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVL#NASDAQ">AVL</a>) could offer a tempting opportunity. On the other end of the equation, pessimists may consider the Direxion Daily AVGO Bear 1X Shares (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVS#NASDAQ">AVS</a>).
Primarily, a central selling point of Direxion's financial products is convenience. With either AVL or AVS, a trader can acquire them much like buying publicly traded stocks. Furthermore, both leveraged or short trades are made possible with these unique ETFs. Otherwise, speculators would have to turn to the options market exclusively, which may introduce additional complexities.
However, Direxion warns that both the AVL or AVS are designed for trades lasting no longer than one day. Holding onto leveraged or inverse ETFs for longer than recommended can result in value erosion due to the underlying daily compounding effect.
The AVL ETF: A relatively new product, AVL is down 19% since its introduction. However, the strong performance of AVGO stock recently has led to an almost 12% lift over the past five sessions.
<ul>
<li>Although the trend since its launch doesn't appear compelling, AVL's recent market action drove the price above its 20-day exponential moving average.</li>
<li>Interested investors should take note of the rising volume trend since late November, indicating brewing optimism.</li>
</ul>

The AVS ETF: On the other side of the fences, the AVS ETF gained nearly 9% since making its public market debut. However, a choppy price action warrants a cautionary posture.
<ul>
<li>What makes AVS a tricky proposition is the materialization of a broadening top formation, also known as a megaphone pattern. This development indicates rising entropy, presenting a difficult trading environment.</li>
<li>Another factor to watch closely is the volume level. Since roughly the middle of November, participation has dropped significantly, implying far less interest in the bearish trade. Still, the daily data demonstrates that this context can change.</li>

Little-Known Pricing Dynamics May Warrant A Closer Look At Direxion's AVGO-Focused ETFs

Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) launched its 3.5D eXtreme Dimension System in Package (XDSiP) technology, enabling consumer AI customers to develop <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/g42339240/broadcom-delivers-industrys-first-3-5d-f2f-technology-for-ai-xpus" rel="noreferrer noopener">advanced accelerators (XPUs)</a>.
Notably, Broadcom introduced the industry's first Face-to-Face (F2F) 3.5D XPU.
The platform integrates over 6000 mm² of silicon and up to 12 high-bandwidth memory stacks in a single package for efficient, low-power AI computing.
Broadcom's 3.5D XDSiP platform enhances interconnect density and power efficiency with its Face-to-Face (F2F) stacking. This method directly links the top metal layers of stacked dies, ensuring dense, low-interference connections with strong mechanical reliability.
The platform includes proprietary IP and design flow for efficient, correct-by-construction 3D stacking of power, clock, and signal interconnects.
Frank Ostojic, Senior Vice President and General Manager, ASIC Products Division, Broadcom said, "Advanced packaging is critical for next generation XPU clusters as we hit the limits of Moore's Law. In close collaboration with our customers, we have created a 3.5D XDSiP platform on top of the technology and tools from TSMC and EDA partners."
"By stacking chip components vertically, Broadcom's 3.5D platform enables chip designers to pair the right fabrication processes for each component while shrinking the interposer and package size, leading to significant improvements in performance, efficiency, and cost."
"TSMC and Broadcom have collaborated closely over the past several years to bring together TSMC's most advanced logic processes and 3D chip stacking technologies with Broadcom's design expertise," stated Dr. Kevin Zhang, Senior Vice President of Business Development &amp; Global Sales and Deputy Co-COO, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company.&nbsp;

"Direxion is the leader in the semiconductor sector of the leveraged and inverse ETF universe, with over $13B in assets across the suite," said Edward Egilinsky, managing director at Direxion. "With the launch of the Broadcom and Micron Technologies ETFs, Direxion now has the largest suite of single-stock leveraged and inverse ETFs as well."

These ETFs offer traders new tools to tap into the price movements of Broadcom and Micron — both dominant names in the semiconductor space. Leveraged and inverse ETFs are designed for short-term trading, enabling traders to capitalize on market shifts without holding long-term positions.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tools For High-Risk, Short-Term Traders</h2>
As always, Direxion advises that these ETFs are for experienced traders with a high risk tolerance. Leveraged products like these are not suitable for buy-and-hold strategies, as they seek to magnify short-term stock movements.
For traders, Direxion's new ETFs provide fresh opportunities to react to market volatility and industry trends — but it's crucial to stay vigilant, as the risks of trading with leverage are just as significant as the potential rewards.

Avalon Rare Metals Announces $2M Non-Brokered Private Placement 

Avalon Rare Metals Inc. (TSX: AVL)(NYSE MKT: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/avl#NYSE%20MKT">AVL</a>) ("Avalon" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received its 'Class A' Land Use Permit from the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board ("MVLWB") to start pre-construction work at the Nechalacho Rare Earth Elements Project ("the Project") at Thor Lake, Northwest Territories, Canada. 

This permit allows the Company to commence, in a phased approach, identified low impact activities including site preparation, early camp erection, portal development and associated infrastructure such as roads, power and water treatment. Avalon anticipates that a 'Class B' Water Licence will be issued in the near future, which will allow the taking of water and deposition of waste as part of later phases of the proposed work program. 

Donald Bubar, Avalon's CEO and President, commented, "The receipt of this land use permit represents another milestone in the ongoing development of the Nechalacho Rare Earth Elements Project. This permit allows us to proceed with the work necessary in 2014 to keep the Project on schedule to achieve commercial operations by 2017/2018. Realizing this goal will ultimately depend on when all Project financing is in place. Certainly, timely receipt of all necessary permits and licences helps mitigate perceived investment risk." 

The Company is continuing the application process for securing full construction and operations permits by early 2015. Mark Wiseman, Avalon's Vice-President, Sustainability, commented, "Based on the co-operative approach and responsiveness experienced to date with the MVLWB staff, we do not anticipate any significant delays in achieving this goal."
