Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Don't want to invoke Porky, so I'll just say that having several potential candidates bringing up all the doom and gloom they can likely isn't "helpful", but I'm not sure "the market" pays much attention to that. Granted, smaller investors and/or traders do indeed affect the markets on the margin, but a lot of the market is held by pension funds and index funds, who I'd guess don't flash trade much.
Looks like several things are creating a headwind, like valuations, oil, China, war/terrorism, Fed tightening, strong dollar... Market needed a pause/correction. I'd not yet tripped any rebalance bands until after a recent withdrawal; my intermediate-term bond fund is close to 5% high after that, but it's price also went up as equities have gone down, thus performing its intended function.
