Defiance Daily Target 2X Long SMCI ETF (NASDAQ: SMCX)

最新ニュース Defiance Daily Target 2X Long SMCI ETF (NASDAQ:SMCX)

The Fund is an actively managed exchange traded fund (ETF) that attempts to achieve two times (200 percent) the daily percentage change in the share price of the Underlying Security by entering into swap agreements on the Underlying Security. The Fund aims to achieve this daily percentage change for a single day, and not for any other period. A single day means the period from the close of regular trading on one trading day to the close on the next trading day. The Fund will enter into one or more swap agreements with financial institutions for a specified period, which may range from one day to longer than a year. Through each swap agreement, the Fund and the financial institution will agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on the Underlying Securitys share price. The gross return (meaning the return before deducting any fees or expenses) to be exchanged or swapped between the parties is calculated with respect to a notional amount, (meaning the face amount of the instrument) e.g., the return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount representing the Underlying Security. In the event the Fund is unable to achieve sufficient swap exposure, the Fund may not always achieve investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to two times (2x) the daily performance of the Underlying Security, and may return substantially less during such periods.

<p>Americans have been praying for lower mortgage rates. They had no idea that a Chinese AI app could help them obtain them.</p>
<p>A knee-jerk selloff in tech stocks on Jan. 27<strong> </strong>prompted by a new Chinese AI tool by startup <strong>DeepSeek </strong>that rivals <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43485775/openais-big-rebrand-chatgpt-parent-wants-to-reflect-a-more-organic-future-with-new-logo-typeface"><strong>Chat GPT</strong></a><strong> </strong>caused some of Silicon Valley&#8217;s most prominent companies to see their stock price plummet overnight. Bond yields also fell that day, and the byproduct of lower bond yields —resulting from bond prices increasing—was to see mortgage rates drop as well.</p>

</ul>
<p>Although the mortgage rate decline was modest—falling to 6.96%—after the tech stock selloff, the pattern seems to have persisted, as the following week, according to<a href="https://www.freddiemac.com/pmms"> Freddie Mac</a>, it fell again to 6.89%.</p>
<p>&#8220;Home shoppers who already have an offer accepted can take advantage of this reprieve, but I don&#8217;t expect it to mean lasting mortgage rate relief for home shoppers,&#8221;<a href="https://www.realtor.com/news/trends/china-ai-deepseek-tech-stock-mortgage-rate/"> realtor.com</a> Chief Economist <strong>Danielle Hale</strong> said. &#8220;That will come from broader economic stability and ongoing improvement in inflation.&#8221;</p>
<p>One of the tech titans to hit the worst was AI chip innovator <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/02/43540906/nvidia-stock-remains-analysts-top-pick-deepseek-selloff-is-a-buying-opportunity">Nvidia</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), which saw shares plunge 17% and its market cap drop by $590 billion. However, the fact that DeepSeek still used Nvidia chips to build its AI platform, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/23/technology/deepseek-china-ai-chips.html">according to the New York Times</a> — albeit in fewer numbers than their US counterparts — might have been missed by those who suddenly sold their shares in the company. Ultimately, the US-based chip maker is still the kingmaker regarding AI technology.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why US Tech Stocks Tanked After DeepSeek Debuted</h2>
<p>DeepSeek claims to have built its AI platform for less than behemoths <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/news/25/02/43531004/comparing-meta-platforms-with-industry-competitors-in-interactive-media-amp-services-industry">Meta</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43485518/google-ais-search-revenue-matches-traditional-ads-says-alphabet-but-there-is-rising-competition-from-openai-perplexity-deepseek">Google</a>, and <strong>Open AI</strong>, raising fears that the established AI players were wildly overspending, setting them up for a fall. The concern appeared short-lived as US tech stocks<a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/markets/2025/01/28/wall-street-stock-market-nvidia-rebound-deepseek/77990744007/"> </a>&nbsp;recovered shortly after the initial crash.</p>
<p>After the initial DeepSeek hoopla, the narrative concerning their low-budget creation drew skepticism. <strong>Wedbush</strong> analyst <strong>Dan Ives</strong> called it &#8220;likely a fictional story.&#8221; <strong>Bill Stein</strong>, chief investment officer and co-founder of <strong>Primary Digital Infrastructure</strong>, also questioned DeepSeek&#8217;s budgetary claims.</p>
<p>"I don&#8217;t see how 4-year-old processors are going to compete with the newest processors from Nvidia,&#8221; he told<a href="https://www.costar.com/article/1828444666/cheap-ai-could-be-good-for-real-estate#"> CoStar News.</a> &#8220;It doesn&#8217;t make sense.&#8221;</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Will DeepSeek Affect Interest Rates?</h2>
<p>Not much more than they already have. The Fed&#8217;s recent move to leave rates unchanged was not a reflection of the turmoil with tech stocks but a response to the general uncertainty about the economy and inflation. Certainly, barring a dramatic change, as seen during the financial crash, the Fed has a policy of not reacting to the stock market.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Wider Ramifications of DeepSeek</h2>
<p>Power stocks have been an unlikely victim of DeepSeek&#8217;s arrival. Media reports said that the Chinese generative AI model was trained using far less power than its American competitors, which directly affected the price of power stocks that were previously soaring thanks to increased data center usage.</p>

<p>Unlike the tech stock drop-off, the ramifications of requiring less power than initially anticipated could be longer-lasting. A <a href="https://buildings.lbl.gov/news/berkeley-lab-report-evaluates-increase-electricity-demand-data-centers#:~:text=Among%20the%20report's%20key%20findings,total%20U.S.%20electricity%20by%202028.">recent report</a> from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory found that data centers could consume between 6.7% and 12% of total US electricity by 2028, compared with 4.4% in 2023.&nbsp;</p>

Forecasting The Future: 5 Analyst Projections For Edgewell Personal Care

<p>Looking into the current session, <strong>Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCX#NYSE">FCX</a>)</strong> shares are trading at $38.06, after a <strong>1.04%</strong> drop. Over the past month, the stock fell by <strong>2.26%</strong>, but over the past year, it actually went up by <strong>3.39%</strong>. With questionable short-term performance like this, and great long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. </p>
<p>
</p><p><img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1739278812_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" /></p>

<h3>Freeport-McMoRan P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
<p>The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. </p>
<p>Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of <strong>28.97</strong> in the Metals &amp; Mining industry, Freeport-McMoRan Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of <strong>29.58</strong>. Shareholders might be inclined to think that Freeport-McMoRan Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It's also possible that the stock is overvalued. </p>
<p>
</p><p><img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1739278812_1.png" alt="Guage" /></p>

<p>In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions. </p>
