Direxion Launches New Daily 2X Leveraged Metals and Mining ETF (MNM)

NEW YORK, Dec. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Direxion announced today the launch of the Direxion Daily Metal Miners Bull 2X Shares (Ticker: MNM). The Fund seeks to achieve 200% of the daily performance of the S&P Metals and Mining Select Industry Index.

The S&P Metals and Mining Select Industry Index provides exposure to U.S. companies engaged in the extraction of metals and other natural resources. The metals and mining industry includes companies in the following sub-industries: aluminum; coal & consumable fuels; copper; diversified metals & mining; gold; precious metals & minerals; silver; and steel.

"The 5-year, $973B infrastructure plan provides a massive boost to government development. This includes transportation, roads, bridges, passenger and freight rail, public transit, EVs, the electricity grid, broadband and clean water," said David Mazza, Managing Director, Head of Product at Direxion. "As this development continues to evolve, along with an uptick in volatility, the metals and mining industry is one traders may want to consider."
