My original premise was that the market's drop could have been caused by pretty much anything. Maybe it's up today because Dorian looks not quite as bad (overall) as originally thought. Maybe it was because of the economic news for August or maybe it was because there is optimism with the China negotiations or the olive branch thrown to the people on Hong Kong.

Call it whatever you want, but the hurricane was not a major driver of the market this week. Economic data, trade news and Fed signals were.

The one thing I won't do though is to get into a long ongoing debate with you like you do with others here who pretty much agree with you. I'll spare the other posters here. 1

The "recession" question is sarcasm from him. The pain is coming from Trump's trade war impacting manufacturing, and the ISM manufacturing index showed contraction this week, with a measure below 50 which is recession indicator. On the other hand, Services and overall consumption are doing fine. Essentially, there is ammunition to support recession talk, and there is ammo to support the Trump loyalists. In the meantime, markets are hyper-sensitive to any trade talk, as we've seen this week. If manufacturing continues to decline, then it will filter into jobs, consumption, and services, and, yes, maybe even a formal recession...

I think you mean "Recession cheerleaders who hate President Trump so much, they will cheer to see their neighbors out of work and on public assistance" versus those who like the economic good times. 1

Dudley, in a Wednesday post on Bloomberg, suggested the Federal Reserve could, and should, try to sway the election against President Donald Trump. Dudley urged current central bankers not to lower interest rates further to cover for any negative effects on the U.S. economy that may arise due to the president’s China trade war. “For a former trusted official of the Fed, whose thinking is inevitably going to be tied to the Fed, to recommend that they ... [use] rates so as to subvert the economy and influence a presidential election is grossly irresponsible, and is an abuse of the privilege of being a former Fed official,” said Summers, who formerly was Treasury secretary under President Bill Clinton and as an economic advisor to President Barack Obama. Summers, a longtime Trump critic who had been considered by Obama for Fed chief, said that Dudley’s remarks took the discussion “out of the realm of economics” and “into the realm of politics.” 2
