# Storms Ahead? Here's What You Need to Know.
Posted by [Creekmur Wealth Advisors](https://blog.creekmurwealth.com/blog/author/creekmur-wealth-advisors) on 9:15 AM on September 28, 2021
## *The stock market has been a little crazy! Are storm clouds on the horizon?*
A few things are driving the market volatility:
**1. Fears of a financial crisis in China.**
China's overheated real estate bubble is starting to pop and Evergrande, a giant Chinese property developer, is heading toward defaulting on more than $300 billion in debt.1
Its failure could trigger a cascade of defaults among banks, materials suppliers, and investors, potentially leading to broader financial issues in China and abroad.
**2. Worries about the Federal Reserve tapering.**
After the recent Fed meeting, Chairman Powell indicated that tapering could begin in November.2 Traders are uneasy about the idea of the central bank pulling back the support now that inflation is higher and the jobs market has improved.3 Firms that depend on low interest rates and easy credit could be hurt. We will certainly monitor this situation closely in the weeks ahead.
**3. Concerns about COVID-19 case numbers.**
Variants continue to pop up and the delta variant continues to keep cases and hospitalizations high. Investors are concerned that another winter resurgence (like we saw last year) could slow down business and economic activity.3
**4. Fears of another debt ceiling showdown.**
Once an ordinary part of federal accounting, adjusting the debt ceiling is now a political negotiation, threatening the Treasury Department’s ability to pay its bills next month.
Though it’s unlikely either party will allow the U.S. to default on its obligations, this political brinksmanship adds anxiety each time it comes up. Another government shutdown could exacerbate political risks to markets.4
> **Do you see a trend? Markets are being driven by worries, concerns, and fears!**
Which of these squalls will fade away and which could blow into a tempest? We can't know. So, here's the real question:
**Could we see a 10%+ correction in the weeks or months ahead?**
The answer. . . Possibly. Corrections and pullbacks happen regularly and it wouldn't be surprising to see a market drop.
To show you just how ordinary corrections are, here's a chart that shows intra-year dips in the S&P 500 alongside annual performance.
*(Take a look at the red circles to see the market drops each year.)*
The big takeaway? In 14 of the last 20 years, markets have dropped at least 10%.5 Even years with strong performance saw big drops.
Right now, we're dealing with a lot of uncertainty, and investors are feeling understandably cautious about what's ahead.
**But, that doesn't mean that we should panic and rush for the exits.**
Pullbacks, corrections, and even downturns don't last forever.
*Here's a few things to keep in your mind during the weeks ahead:*
1. Volatility is the norm - All-time Highs are not the norm.
2. Review the goals & time frame for your accounts.
3. Check-in with your portfolio or your advisor if you're not confident that your investments support your goals and time frame.
We can’t predict which way markets will go in the coming weeks, but we are monitoring these current events carefully. We're keeping an eye on the Chinese property market situation, as well as workings over in Washington.
Have questions? Feeling uneasy? Please reach out. That's what we're here for.
