The stock market had some gyrations and most markets saw a little bit of profit taking.

I couldn’t really read anything into these short-term moves and am more interested to see how the markets trade today, tomorrow, and next week.

The one I am most interested in is the US bond market, because last year US bonds sold off after the September Fed meeting. You can see that in this chart of TLT.
