The last time the Dow was here

If you watch prices of equity indices on CNBC while trading forex, you know that the Australian Dollar (AUD) and New Zealand Dollar (NZD) typically share a reasonably strong correlation with the U.S. stock market (albeit currently weaker than usual.) Thus, it can be reasonably inferred that when the U.S. stock market enters a bear market (whenever that may be) it should bring the Aussie and Kiwi down with it.
