The market experienced a significant rally this morning, recovering some of the losses from the previous day's sell-off. This follows a public spat between President Trump and Fed Chairman Powell, along with stalled US-China trade negotiations. The Dow, NASDAQ, and S&P all saw substantial gains, while the bond market showed signs of recovery. This volatility highlights the market's desire for an independent Fed and its sensitivity to political events.
