S&P 500 tested August range bottom.
The afternoon leg lower in the S&P 500 shows how tightly interlocked markets are: the decline came exactly as the 10-year Treasury yield touched 4.8% and WTI crude crossed back above $90 a barrel, causing the index to test the bottom of the August breakout range that extends back to the highs of May.
