Some of the things that might have a connection are.

1. Possible Government shutdown

2. Evergrande in China... something is up. They might have a temporary fix but who knows. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/17/china-developer-evergrande-debt-crisis-bond-default-and-investor-risks.html

3)The Chinese stock market will be closed starting tomorrow and will reopen next Friday (10/8) https://isstockmarketopen.com/market-holidays/shanghai-china/

Governments try and do things when markets are closed if what they are doing might affect the market in a negative way.

Example, How many times has news come out right after the market closed on Fridays? Think about the AZ audit. They waited until the market was closed last Friday before they started.

China's stock market is closed tomorrow for a week. We have been hearing news (yea, I know) that China could invade Taiwan. If they were to do that this would be a good time (from their point of view) https://www.foxbusiness.com/media/china-xi-jinping-invade-taiwan-robert-obrien

If President Trump did not say Pray for our country for the next 21 days I would not think much about this stuff.

Like I said, that 21 days ends this weekend. Maybe I am reading too much into it. It would not be the first time.
