Viewpoint: Next Week, the Storage Sector May Continue to Decline, Google's TurboQuant Algorithm Reduces Memory Usage, Impact is Gradually Emerging
June 7 – Market research firm Financelot noted that open-source vector index library TurboVec, unveiled last month, is disrupting the high-memory-demand market, with its impact already starting to surface. The Friday sell-off in memory stocks is being pinned on this development. Financelot has divested positions in Micron, SanDisk, Samsung, and SK Hynix, taking a bearish stance on the storage sector’s performance next week.
However, community reactions push back on claims that TurboVec poses a major threat to the memory sector. They point out that every time a new memory optimization is rolled out, there are always naysayers declaring the entire semiconductor industry doomed.
This past March, Google Research introduced the TurboQuant quantization algorithm, which independent developer Ryan Codrai turned into the open-source vector index library TurboVec in late May. The tool drastically cuts memory requirements for vector databases: for example, it compresses 10 million float32 vecto

Bond Giant Positions for AI Bubble Burst: Buys Credit Debt to Weather Deep Cycle
June 7. DoubleLine Capital and Oaktree Capital are positioning themselves ahead of a potential AI bubble burst with a strategy of selectively picking bonds that can weather a deep credit cycle.
Robert Cohen, DoubleLine Capital’s fund manager, told the Bloomberg Global Credit Forum that an AI bubble is almost certain to burst—putting the probability at around 100%. He argues that as tech companies keep pouring massive amounts of capital into the space, the market will inevitably hit bubble territory in the coming months or years. Cohen defines a credit bubble as investors financing companies that need actual growth to pay off their debt, a path that has historically killed off tech booms. As such, he recommends targeting companies that can survive via structural safeguards or strong balance sheets, rather than betting on future growth projections.
The AI industry’s leverage has expanded at an unprecedented pace. According to Barclays, U.S. mega-cap tech firms have issued over $155

Analysis: S&P 500 Friday Sell-off Factor Cleared, Market Awaits Monday Buying Interest to See if Market Structure Can Be Rebuilt
June 7 – Former hedge fund analyst Alphatica outlined in their weekend market outlook that the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) closed Friday at $737.55, a 2.6% single-day drop. Friday’s options expiration cleared the core catalyst behind the concentrated sell-off: the massive negative gamma at the $740 strike, which had reached -$8.71 billion, has now reset to zero. Total negative Gamma Exposure (GEX)—a metric tracking how market maker hedging activity amplifies or dampens volatility—has fallen from an intraday peak of -$18.47 billion to -$8.68 billion, meaning the most intense selling pressure has faded. The market has shifted from aggressive, concentrated selling to more dispersed pressure.
Multiple key indicators turned bearish for the first time: the composite score dipped into bearish territory at -22.9, while implied volatility (IV) skewness hit +5.35%—the highest level in this cycle. Put options now carry a significant premium, with 65% of that premium tied to puts. Single-day put
