US risk-free rate is set to go much higher.

The US 10-year treasury yield has been consistently above 3% recently and is poised to go much higher because the US Fed will increase interest rates in the next Fed meeting.

A higher interest rate is bad for stocks because the future cash flow has to be discounted with a higher risk-free rate and this will make the stock valuation overly high.

China has started the new tariffs against US goods today.

The US will also start its new tariffs against China goods tonight after China starts to impose the new tariffs.

China central bank had reduced offshore CNY supply recently.

The overnight rate for offshore CNY on 20 Sep 2018 was 2.953% but it jumped to 4.562% after China intervened in the money market using its SLF & MLF.

China central bank had created a shortage of CNY offshore and caused the overnight rate to spike tremendously.  This is to prevent the renminbi from depreciating further because investors will find it more expensive to short the CNY.
