Several correlations that I track are at rather concerning levels. All of these markets moving together could result in a negative feedback loop.
The DJI 20-day correlation coefficients included are: DJ China, DJ Europe, DJ Japan, junk bonds, US WTI oil, DJ US real estate, and gold. Included for experimental observations are: VIX and SPX put/call ratio.

Comment:
This is still looking rather concerning. Gold and the Japanese DOW are less correlated but other relationships are mostly unchanged. Taking a guess at why, both of these are viewed as safe havens.
Comment:
Still very high correlations for most assets on this chart. Gold has been trading independently recently.
Comment:
Still very high while we are headed into peak earnings season.
