"after Monday's plunge, Tuesday was a textbook oversold rebound," Sevens Report Research analyst Thomas Essaye said in a report on Wednesday.

We think both of these things will happen. "

Some strategists believe that the U. S. stock market will enter a period of volatility, during which there may be a deeper correction. As the Delta variant spreads, investors are grappling with concerns about inflation and a surge in new Delta variant infections in the United States.

On average, more than 35500 new cases of novel coronavirus infection have been confirmed in the United States every day in the past seven days, according to data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Wednesday.

Matt Maley, equity strategist at Miller Tabak, said: "I think what we are seeing now is a warning signal that the stock market could pull back between late August and October."

But the data show that the surge in the number of novel coronavirus infections usually does not cause the stock market to fall for a long time. The number of novel coronavirus infections in the United States has risen sharply four times in the 14 months since the daily average of confirmed cases peaked in April last year, while the S & P remained positive.

"We expect investors' behavior to cause the market to continue to fluctuate," Rich Steinberg, chief market strategist at The Colony Group, said on Wednesday. As investors are used to buying bargains, we will follow the rebound. In a stressful world, they have also become accustomed to worrying about the economic outlook and virus outbreaks. I think this market environment is nervous, but we do not see a high degree of short-term trading. "
