You know that $1.4 trillion in unfunded tax cuts the Congress just decided to borrow over the next 10 years in order to do nothing useful? Apparently China doesn't find that idea appealing from the lender's perspective. To paraphrase a famous American, that makes them smart!

Correction was overdue, but down 666 Friday, down another almost 500 right now ...

Yeah, tbh I was surprised the market went as high as it did, yet I'm also scratching my head as to what the catalyst is right now.

keep seeing "rising wages" cited in subheds

Nigh-imperceptible declines in the stark inequity between the richest and poorest Americans have predictably sent Wall Street into a tailspin.

yeah, and if it's that it's just further proof of how decoupled the stock market is from the real economy

January 2018 wage gains were apparently highest since June 2009; but fourth quarter 2017 ones were lower than expected.

Feel like there's an extent to which the health of the stock market is directly related to some unknowable index of how tolerant workers are of being exploited at a given point in time. Rising wages certainly threaten that balance.

Times:
Markets tanked on Monday as investors assessed whether the global economy was moving away from the slow growth, low inflation, and low interest rates that prevailed over the last decade.The Standard & Poorβs 500-stock index was off by nearly 4 percent on Monday. The weakness built off the previous week, when stocks had their worst performance in two years.If the momentary market sputter turns into something worse, it could become awkward for President Trump. He has repeatedly claimed credit for the surging stock market, and gave the markets a high-profile mention at his State of the Union address last week. At its recent peak, the S. & P. 500 was up 27 percent since Mr. Trump took office. But that number has slipped with the recent sell-off to roughly 20 percent.

what would "false flag" even mean in that context?

in the spirit of earnest conversation, though, i jest in the other stock faces thread because this is definitely no big deal and on its way to recovery

As with every instance someone uses the phrase, I assume he means he wants a real flag forcefully jammed up his ass. But that's just a guess.
