The Week
ORAC.US fell 4.87% this week to close at $22.841, while the S&P 500 slipped 0.08% over the same stretch. The ETF underperformed the benchmark by roughly 4.79 percentage points, with weekly amplitude of 16.1%. The price action was a pull-up-then-fade: Monday (Sep 14) opened at $21.610 and settled at $21.870; Tuesday (Sep 15) slid to $20.747 and closed near the week’s low; Wednesday (Sep 16) touched an intraday low of $20.520 before rebounding to $21.537; Thursday (Sep 17) rallied to $24.000 and closed at $23.750; Friday (Sep 18) gave back ground to end at $22.841.
Sector News
The narrative this week centred on Oracle and the AI financing chain. News that Larry Ellison filed to sell $7.5 billion in Oracle shares surfaced on Monday (Sep 14), and Oracle subsequently breached $150 with a forecast pointing to $115. On Sep 15, Oracle released Java 27 and strengthened post-quantum cryptography support, alongside reports of a $40 billion financing plan that flagged rising risk as debt costs climb; on Sep 16, Oracle rose 3.38% in a single session. Later in the week, Warren Buffett’s warning on market risk and a report that Oracle and CoreWeave were selling around AI’s $3.6 trillion financing bill kept sentiment cautious. As a 2x daily ETF tracking Oracle, ORAC.US moved in tandem with this consistently cool news flow.
The Week Ahead
No earnings or events directly tied to this ETF are scheduled, but the macro calendar is dense: Tuesday (Sep 22) brings the Richmond Fed composite index; Wednesday (Sep 23) weekly EIA crude and Cushing crude inventories; Thursday (Sep 24) initial jobless claims, current account balance, new home sales annualised, and EIA natural gas inventories. After a week shaped by AI financing worries, Oracle shareholder selling and market risk warnings, the next stretch will test whether macro data shifts risk appetite and whether Oracle-related flow follows through.
In Short
ORAC.US left the week with high volatility and a chilly news backdrop: the price spiked and faded, ending down against the broad market while Oracle selling, heavy financing and AI financing doubts piled up. On the latest trading day, small-lot flow was the only positive net inflow, with no large or medium inflows, and volume data did not point to clear absorption. The focus now is on whether the macro calendar and Oracle-related news extend this week’s tone, rather than reading it all one way.
