The most encouraging news for the financial markets today wasn’t outgoing Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke’s positive comments on the U.S. economy. Instead I’d say the real good news today is that the stock and bond markets didn’t use Bernanke’s positive view as a reason to retreat.

It’s crunch time for this week’s bounce. U.S. stocks have taken back about half the ground they lost in the June tumble after moves up this week, but the market now faces a series of technical tests.

The recovery in Japanese stocks and the renewed downturn in the yen are hardly strong trends at the moment.
