Direxion Daily Homebuilders & Supplies Bull 3X Shares

NAIL

Market cap $560M

Direxion Daily Homebuilders and Supplies Bull 3X Shares ETF (NAIL) offers leveraged exposure to homebuilders and supply companies, benefiting from both new builds and renovations. NAIL's performance is highly sensitive to interest rates; falling rates could trigger a significant rally due to pent-up demand and limited existing home supply. The ETF carries substantial risk due to its 3x leverage, making strict use of price and time stops essential for capital protection.

He warned that tariffs on upholstered furniture, kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities will jump on Jan. 1, 2026, unless foreign nations are able to reach trade agreements.

Builders are sensitive to lumber pricing. But they are likely to weather the new tariffs, one analyst says.

US President Donald Trump ordered 10% tariffs on imports of softwood timber and lumber, as well as 25% levies on kitchen cabinets, vanities and upholstered wood products. The tariffs are set to apply from Oct. 14, with some increases targeted to take effect Jan. 1, according to a proclamation signed Monday.

The White House set a relatively low tariff on imports of timber and lumber, and a significantly higher tariff on furniture and kitchen cabinets.

Earlier this summer, a worrying but bluntly unsurprising headline caught the attention of investors everywhere: a growing number of young Americans have given up pursuing homeownership, believing that an all-out global war will have a greater likelihood of materializing. However, a critical shift in monetary policy just might force a rethink of this dire condition.

The Direxion Daily Homebuilders & Supplies Bull 3X Shares ETF is not an attractive buy despite the recent Fed rate cut. The NAIL fund's leveraged structure is vulnerable to volatility and sideways trading, potentially leading to significant decay. Current macroeconomic conditions present challenges for the housing market regardless of the Fed's benchmark rate.

The Direxion Daily Homebuilders & Supplies Bull 3X Shares ETF seeks to deliver 300% (3x) the return of an index focused on homebuilding, building products, and home improvement retail stocks. While NAIL holdings trade at just 12.7x their trailing earnings, forward earnings estimates for the ETF's largest constituents point to lower earnings in the next twelve months. As a result, analysts expect limited price gains over the next year, reducing the attractiveness of buying NAIL in the short term.

If the CME FedWatch Tool is correct, then there's a 90% chance the U.S. Federal Reserve institutes a rate cut of 25 basis points. It should result in positive moves for a market that's been expecting rate cuts all year, but four sectors in particular should benefit from easing monetary policy.
