With stronger, broader gains on Tuesday morning than Monday, the stock market tried to rebound near the open.

Stock market analysis
For the second session in a row, the Bulls tried to fight back in the open. The Nasdaq rose as much as 2.2% within minutes of Tuesday’s session, surpassing Monday’s peak.
But as Treasury yields rose again, the major indexes corrected, erased, and reversed those gains.
The S&P 500, meanwhile, hit a June 17 low. The benchmark index joined the Dow Jones, which broke below its June 17 low on Friday. The Nasdaq has yet to end its June bear market low or Friday intraday.
Even as yields hit intraday highs, major indices returned to mixed levels.
The Cboe volatility index, or VIX, rose to a fresh three-month high, giving back intraday highs as stocks rallied late. The market fear gauge is at a level that at least represents a short-term bottom, but the past few days may have been telling. The VIX is not necessarily at a level that represents the bottom of a long-term bear market.
The inability of the market to last more than a few minutes is not encouraging. But even if the major indices rise solidly for a full day or two, it doesn’t mean much. The best market days in history have been in bear markets.
Some leading stocks tried to bounce back on Tuesday, but they pared gains with the market, including shares of WWE, Shockwave and Tesla.
A bear market could be at the top starting a new leg down. It is still possible for the market to bottom around the June low, although this does not indicate a quick transition to a powerful rally. There is a possibility that the market will come close to the limit for weeks or months.
It’s hard to see the S&P 500 and the overall stock market having a sustained rally with Treasury yields and the dollar rising. Perhaps the 10-year yield will hit resistance at the 4% level. A pullback can trigger a stock market rally.
Still, Treasury yields won’t break their gains unless the Fed signals slower rate hikes. Policymakers haven’t given such a hint, and likely won’t until inflation drops significantly and labor markets weaken. The 10-year yield may have topped earlier, but that could reflect expectations of a clear U.S. recession. Going into a recession is not a recipe for a stock market boom.
However, markets are now leaning slightly toward a fourth straight 75-basis-point rate hike in November. Markets are now divided between the year-end fed funds rate of 4%-4.25% vs. 4.25%-4.5%, which has modestly declined since Monday.
