The trouble started after the monthly jobs report showed wage growth picking up its pace. This raised the possibility that faster inflation might also be around the corner.  
The central banks have 16 trillion dollars stimulus [QE] around the globe.  This money will be reduced gradually in the coming two years, dramatically impacting the stock market, Corporate earning, and liquidity. 
At one point, mid, or three quarter-way, a new realization occurs with those traders, margin and leveraged players, to liquidate and the flood gate opens up.  Just a thought.

Pro-Regime...

U.S. military advisers in Syria had to call in American airstrikes and artillery support to repel an attack late night by pro-Assad regime forces on a headquarters belonging to U.S.-backed rebels. An estimated 100 pro-regime forces were killed by the strikes, said a U.S. official.

A coalition statement said the attack occurred on a "well-known" headquarters belonging to the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) about eight kilometers east of the deconfliction line along the Euphrates River that is used to separate the U.S. area of operations from that of Russia and the Assad regime.
Obviously the group mentioned are not fighting ISIS, but fighting the Regime. We supported other groups in the past and the outcome wasn't helpful to no one.

Resettlement...*

About 140 Somali refugees whose resettlement in the United States was stopped by President  Trump's executive order have been sent back to their refugee camp instead.

The fate of the Somali refugees is especially uncertain because Kenya's government has vowed to close their Dadaab camp, the world's largest, by the end of May, citing security concerns.


Kenyan officials say the refugees will be returned to neighboring Somalia.
The Kenyan government says al-Shabab uses Dadaab as a recruiting and training ground for extremists who attack Kenya.

A spokeswoman for the U.N. refugee agency said the agency was looking at other ways of settling the refugees, including moving them to another camp in Kenya.
