A couple of great posts last night, re interest rates and the markets in general.
In a nutshell, worries in the US market that they need more stimulus to continue these lofty highs.
Do the fed try and kill gold or the DowJ?

The news headline that followed hours later was

VIX up 3.58% last night, shows the nerves up a bit.
