The New York stock market successfully rebounded on the 17th, marking its first gain in four sessions. It shook off the shock of the Federal Reserve's rate hike in just one day. Investor sentiment recovered as international oil prices and U.S. Treasury yields declined.
Semiconductor stocks led the gains, with the leveraged exchange-traded fund (ETF) Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares (SOXL), which tracks the daily performance of 30 major semiconductor stocks at three times the rate, surging 10.4%.
