This correction was bound to happen.
Such events are healthy in every market, but understanding the connection between crumbling AI stock prices and the recent margin unwind shows how bullish this is for long-term investors who can buy the dip
Margin debt grew 53.7% year over year in May, reaching a record $1.42 trillion. It was also up by 8.5% month over month. All that margin meant that a small correction would inevitably turn into a big one — and it did.
