The Week
Pro UltrPro Dow30 (UDOW) fell 5.15% this week to $66.13, underperforming the S&P 500 by about 5.07 percentage points. Trading was choppy: the fund opened Monday at $69.175 and touched $70.03 before slumping to $64.33 on Wednesday, then drifted lower into the close. The 8.24% weekly amplitude points to heightened sensitivity around the Fed decision.
SPDR Djia This Week
The underlying SPDR Djia lost 1.88% this week, closing at $515.88 with a 2.76% weekly range. It opened at $524.54 and slid to $512.29 around the Fed decision on Wednesday, then clawed back part of the loss. The ETF remains below its 20-day average near $528, suggesting the Dow blue chips spent the week on the back foot.
Leverage & Decay
UDOW targets 3x the daily move of the Dow, resetting exposure each day. With the underlying down 1.88% for the week, a simple 3x calculation would suggest about -5.64%; the fund actually fell 5.15%, leaving a 0.49 percentage point gap. That gap comes from daily rebalancing: the product tracks 3x each single day’s move, not 3x of the week’s cumulative return, so back-and-forth price action causes the weekly figure to deviate from the simple multiple. The choppier the week, the wider that drift tends to be.
SPDR Djia News
The dominant story for Dow components this week was the Fed’s rate hike. The index dropped 775 points on Wednesday, or 1.48%, as the 10-year Treasury yield pushed back above 5%, before futures stabilised after the decision. Nike’s falling share price also drew attention to possible changes in the Dow’s membership, while names like Amgen, Visa and Goldman Sachs appeared in research notes and corporate news. Overall, rates and yields set the tone rather than individual earnings headlines.
The Week Ahead
Next week’s calendar includes the Richmond Fed composite index on Tuesday, EIA crude stockpiles on Wednesday, and initial jobless claims, the current account balance and new home sales on Thursday. For UDOW, the path of SPDR Djia remains the key input. Whether the 10-year yield stays above 5% and whether oil prices keep pulling back will shape sentiment for rate-sensitive Dow names.
In Short
UDOW’s weekly decline filtered through from a softer SPDR Djia and the inherent amplification of leverage, with the actual drop slightly milder than the 3x theoretical figure. Rates and yields were the central thread, keeping Dow blue chips under pressure while latest-day capital flows showed mixed direction between small-lot and large-lot money. The next test is whether Treasury yields ease and whether incoming data shifts expectations for the Fed’s next step.
