In response to "Good point. I was going with the news reports I've seen saying the drop in the Dow was because of falling oil prices." by ReluctantYuleLog

Certainly, that's what every news report is going with.

And I guess if everyone assumes the market is going to drop on oil so they sell/short and the market drops, then the market did (sortof) drop on oil, if indirectly.

It's the old correlation/causation argument in part too.

But mostly it's just computers playing the players.
