The leveraged energy ETF Direxion Daily Energy Bull 2X Shares (ERX) aims to deliver twice the daily return of the Energy Select Sector Index, which is heavily weighted in major U.S. energy companies like Exxon Mobil and Chevron. In 2026, ERX returned 71% year-to-date, more than double the 35% gain of its benchmark, due to daily compounding of returns. However, this leverage also increases risk, as volatility can cause losses even if the underlying index ends flat. ERX is best suited for investors confident in a sustained, consistent energy rally, but it carries higher risk than traditional energy funds.
