From Alan Kohler: The mid-year market correction of 2013 is different to the previous three years as it has been spurred by economic strength rather than global volatility.

However, this year's market correction was sparked purely by speculation about the end of QE3, despite positive economic data from the US, growth in Japan and declining Eurozone risks.
