(Reuters) – The prices of the funds negotiated on the stock market with a disproportionate exhibition in Nvidia plunged on Monday in reaction to a news that a Chinese startup launched a new model of powerful artificial intelligence.

The initiates of the technology market such as the venture capital Marc Andreessen have labeled the emergence of the Deepseek model of Deepseek a “Sputnik moment” for the companies of the American AI, of which most of the courses of the shares have slipped on News that Deepseek downloads have already exceeded those who are rivals of chatgpt on Apple Apple Apple Approssement online.

While Nvidia’s share price was negotiated at around 17.3% down from mid-afternoon on Monday, the prices of stock market negotiated funds that offer leverage exposure to the manufacturer of chips plunged even more.

The four ETFs which offer daily yields of the nvidia gain have been affected by the greatest drop, with the granites 2x long daily ETFs of NVDA 34.5%. Its leveraged counterpart, which offers investors a gain in doubles all loss in NVIDIA stocks, has climbed almost 34%.

“These movements were to be expected, given what we saw occurring with Nvidia,” said Will Rhind, founder and CEO of Granites. “We will not start to have an idea of ​​what we see in outputs or entries before the market is closed.”

Other leverage effects with a large exposure to Nvidia have made just as dramatic movements. The ultra semiconductors FNB proshares, which targets a return duplicate of the US semiconductors Dow Jones index and has more than 40% of its assets in Nvidia, dropped 24.43% at noon on Monday. These FNB suppliers could not be reached immediately to comment.

“Volatility is what FNB players are looking for in a single stock,” said Bryan Armor, ETF analyst at Morningstar. “Those who have a bad experience could now escape the future, but I’m sure they will be replaced by others.”

The leverage ETFs, which carry relatively high costs of almost 1%, against approximately 0.4% for an actively managed typical FNB, are the area of ​​retail merchants and speculators, added Armor.

But other FNBs have been taken in the sale, including many people owned by institutions and retail investors with a longer investment time horizon.

For example, the Vanguard Information Technologies Fund dropped 5.25% in the middle of azaderal on Monday. NVIDIA is the second holding of the fund, with almost 15% of the portfolio.

Vistashares Artificial Intelligence Supercycle ETF lost around 10% in the middle of the afternoon. It has a smaller exposure to NVIDIA – only 3% – but has a wide variety of other AI actions.
