What is the relationship between one stock market and another foreign stock market?

Reader question: I'm an Indonesian and I am told that my country stock market going down has something to do with US's stock market going down. Can anyone please help me explain the relationship? Or if this is true at all? Thanks a lot!

  1. This is called arbitrage, when stocks get cheaper
    in one market, investors will not buy in another
    unless the price is driven down also.
    There are of course other reasons, the main one
    is that economies are interrelated around the world
    and when an economy is sneezing, the neighbor
    one is in danger of catching a cold.
    Stock markets rise and fall in “sympathy” with
    each other, even stock investors can show love ;-)

Completed unsolicited and worthless random fact:
Halloween took place in the town of Haddonfield, Illinois but almost all the cars in the film had California license plates.
