Top Performing Leveraged/Inverse ETFs: 07/19/2026

These were last week’s top performing leveraged and inverse ETFs. Note that because of leverage, these kinds of funds can move quickly. Always do your homework.

1. SNK – GraniteShares 2x Short SpaceX Daily ETF

SNK provides 2x inverse leveraged exposure to daily price movement for shares of Space Exploration Technologies Corp, (NASDAQ: SPCX) stock. Their shares tumbled below their $135 IPO price last week, hitting fresh lows near $120. The decline was driven by a scrubbed Starship test flight after multiple engines failed to ignite at launch, looming lock-up expirations, and negative market sentiment.

2. SOXS – Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3x ETF

The SOXS ETF inversely tracks the PHLX Semiconductor Index featured on the list of levered/ inverse ETFs with ~34%+ returns in the last week. Semiconductor stocks retreated due to mounting doubts regarding the sustainability of AI infrastructure spending and potential regulatory changes restricting chip exports. Investors locked in profits following a massive rally, while geopolitical tensions and rising energy prices added broad market pressure.

3. DJTU – T-REX 2X Long DJT Daily Target ETF

DJTU aims to provide 2x leveraged exposure to the daily price movement of Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. stock (NASDAQ: DJT). Trump Media & Technology Group shares rallied last week following the announcement of “Truth API,” a business-to-business data feed service.

4. NRGU – MicroSectors U.S. Big Oil 3 Leveraged ETN

NRGU, which tracks three times the performance of an index of US Oil & Gas companies, featured on the levered weekly list, returning over 22%. Oil settled higher, driven by the escalating military conflict between the U.S. and Iran, which raised severe concerns about global supply shortages and disruptions to crude shipments through the vital Strait of Hormuz.

5. WTIU – MicroSectors Energy 3X Leveraged ETNs

Another oil-focused ETN, WTIU that tracks 3x of the daily price movements of an index of US-listed energy and oil companies, ranked among the top-performing leveraged contenders last week.

6. HIBS – Direxion Daily S&P 500 High Beta Bear 3X ETF

HIBS, which provides inverse exposure to the U.S. large-cap stocks, was present on the top performing levered/ inverse ETFs list this week. Inverse ETFs gained as stocks fell due to a sharp sell-off in mega-cap technology and AI-linked shares. Disappointing forecasts from companies like Netflix and widespread declines in semiconductor and chip stocks pulled the tech-heavy Nasdaq down.

7. UCO – ProShares Ultra Bloomberg Crude Oil

UCO, which offers 2x daily leverage to an index that consists of crude oil futures contracts, was another best-performing fund on the list with ~18% weekly gains.

8. GDXD – MicroSectors Gold Miners -3X Inverse Leveraged ETNs

GDXD, which aims to provide 300% daily inverse exposure to a market-cap weighted index comprising two gold miners ETFs, made it to the list of Inverse ETFs. Gold drops as rising Middle East conflict fuels U.S. rate-hike expectations.

9. BERZ – MicroSectors Solactive FANG & Innovation -3X Inverse Leveraged ETN

The BERZ ETF, which provides daily -3x inverse exposure to an index of FANG and technology companies, also featured on the list of top-performing inverse ETFs with ~17.9% weekly returns, due to mounting investor anxiety over the massive capital spending required for AI infrastructure and a broader market rotation into energy stocks spurred by the escalating Middle East conflict.

10. TECS – Direxion Daily Technology Bear 3X ETF

Another inverse technology ETF, TECS, made it to the list, gaining more than 17% last week.
