yes, it will all be together...
now this is something new... everyone knows quantitative easing... now here comes quantitative tightening!
but it does make sense... many countries incl china, russia, msia have been depleting their reserves to protect their currencies.
if usa hike rates, all hell might break loose... some can follow, some will fail.
equities will fall flat, oil will fall further...
then, where to hide?
usd, i guess!

The ultra-low-interest-rate environment has made it cheaper to borrow money—and is recognized as being the fuel that has propelled the stock market higher. The Federal Reserve has hinted it will start to wean investors off cheap money in 2015, when it begins to raise interest rates.
Raising interest rates by just 50 basis points could have a serious, negative impact on the broader economy and, by extension, the U.S. stock market. Continued economic challenges in the eurozone and Asia will also have a detrimental affect on the U.S. stock market.
