What happened

Market turnarounds like this don't happen often.

Why it matters

Barclays strategist Venu Krishna pointed out that the S & P 500 went from near correction territory (down about 9% from its all-time peak) back to an all-time high in just 11 trading days.

Common ground

That's the fastest move to record levels from a bottom of at least 9% since at least 1990, he said.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
