# Why Direxion Semis Bull 3X (SOXL) rose 10.91% on October 28, 2026

Direxion Semis Bull 3X (SOXL) rose 10.91% on October 28, 2026 — Oracle-Google TPU tie-up sparks chip rally.

## What happened

Chip stocks rallied, with the SMH semiconductor ETF up 3.1%. Oracle rose 5% on news that Google TPUs are coming to Oracle Cloud and its NVIDIA deal is expanding, while AMD (+5.7%) and Micron (+4.6%) led the group.

## Why it moved

SOXL holds a fixed 3x multiple of the chip index's daily move, so it roughly tripled SMH's gain. Oracle's cloud and NVIDIA news lifted AI-infrastructure demand expectations and carried the group higher.

## Why it matters

This is the Chip Supply Chain theme, where AI capex has spread from equipment to design IP across the wider complex.

## What would break the thesis

The rally is only as durable as hyperscaler and AI-infrastructure spending. A tech selloff or doubts about AI capex would reverse a 3x fund quickly.
