Against this backdrop, the US stock market rebounded last night. The investors bought shares because of a small dip in the bond yields.The real reason, TKL suspects, is that there is too much money lying around. The US govt printed a lot of money. The money has to be invested somewhere.
Many investors are waiting to buy stocks at depressed prices. There is an oversupply of money that needs to be invested.

react to these figures? In seconds, shares tumbled 16%. Shares were interrupted. After

better results, but billions were slashed off. Now even investors cannot forecast results
accurately. Nobody can, otherwise everybody would be rich just playing the stock market?
