On Tuesday, the S&P 500 fell below the June 16 low of 3666 to 3647. Today, it bounced  back above that devilish number to 3719. The good news was that a major central bank was forced to pivot by the Bond Vigilantes. On Monday and Tuesday, the foreign exchange value of the British pound and bond prices crashed, sending US bond yields soaring and stocks falling. Today, the Bank of England suspended its quantitative tightening plan and announced plans to buy long-term bonds instead. Bonds and stock prices rallied.
