There should be a clearer view and a decisive move either way in the market direction after the trade talk ends tomorrow.  For now it just drifting around with no directions.

It didn't affect market much, and neither for later, i guess, I worry the 10 year yield is 3.108 now. and bond is selling hard, it will do something to stocks.

it will do something in stocks by accelerating the rise.  Money from selling bonds and the international money (rising $ and rising market) will flow into US stocks.  stop worrying about the higher yield.

 Interest rates ALWAYS do something to stocks. But 3.108% is not high enough to affect markets much if at all.

It would have to be in 4.5% area to have a significant effect. We had interest rates higher than 4.5% for many decades preceding Bernanke & Yellen. At 3.1% interest rates are historically very low. RIght now I see only 1 item which can do something to markets. And that is DEBT levels all over the world.
