1. DZZ – Deutsche Bank Ag London Gold Double Short Exchange Traded (Nts)

The DZZ ETF topped the Top Performing Inverse ETFs’ list with ~64% returns. Gold prices fell as a stronger US dollar and easing global tensions reduced demand. Separately, the Fed signaling fewer rate cuts made non-yielding metals less attractive to cautious investors.

2. AMZZ – GraniteShares 2x Long AMZN Daily ETF

AMZZ aims to deliver 2x the price return for a single day of Amazon stock, and ranked second on the list with 17%+ weekly gains. Amazon’s shares gained due to a strong third-quarter earnings beat, a robust outlook for the holiday quarter, and significant developments in its artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing (AWS) segments.

3. NVDU – Direxion Daily NVDA Bull 2X Shares

NVDU, which provides 2x leveraged exposure to the daily price movement for shares of NVIDIA stock, featured on the Leveraged/ Inverse ETFs’ list with over 17% returns in the last week, boosted by investor optimism about Nvidia’s sales in China. The company’s market cap crossed $5 trillion, fueled by red-hot AI chip demand and soaring data center revenue. Nvidia, which now holds 80% of the AI chip market, also announced a $1B deal with Nokia and a U.S. government supercomputer project. Shares are up 78% this year.

4. AMZU – Direxion Daily AMZN Bull 2X Shares

6. GGLL – Direxion Daily GOOGL Bull 2X Shares

GGLL provides 2x leveraged exposure to the daily price movement for shares of Google stock, featured on the list as Google stock rallied. The main catalysts were strong third-quarter 2025 earnings that beat analyst expectations and a favorable ruling in a search antitrust case.

7. KORU – Direxion MSCI Daily South Korea Bull 3X Shares

KORU provides 300% daily leveraged exposure to an index of large- and mid-cap South Korean companies, featured on the list of top performing leveraged ETFs last week with ~16% returns, fueled by growing confidence in the nation’s AI-focused tech firms, as well as recent improvements in US-South Korea and US-China trade relations.

8. PLT – Defiance Leveraged Long Income PLTR ETF

PLT is an actively managed fund, aiming to provide 1.5x to 2x leveraged exposure to the daily price movement of Palantir Technologies (PLTR). The stock jumped, driven by strong third-quarter earnings that surpassed analyst expectations and new high-profile commercial and government contracts.

9. SMCX – Defiance Daily Target 2X Long SMCI ETF

SMCX seeks to deliver 2x leveraged exposure to the daily share price movement of Super Micro Computer, featured on the top-performing levered ETFs’ list. Super Micro’s (NASDAQSMCI) stock rose last week, supported by strong long-term AI demand and key strategic developments.

10. DRV – Direxion Daily Real Estate Bear 3X Shares

The DRV ETF, which offers -3x daily leverage to an index of U.S. REITs, was one of the top-performing inverse ETFs returning over 12% last week. The Real estate sector suffered due to persistent affordability challenges amid high interest rates and a mismatch between seller price expectations and buyer demand.
