Loading ...Average course of the S&P 500 during election years (blue); current S&P 500 development (red)
This year the S&P 500 has performed as it often does in election years. Source: Seasonax.
Marked in red on this chart you can also see the current course of the S&P 500 (the right-hand scale). Notice the confirmity: in the middle of January and at the beginning of February there were interim lows at almost the same time, before growth until April; it fell again until the end of May, before correcting again almost simultaneously at the end of June. Since then prices have been and still are growing – the way they do in a typical election year.
