History has a way of rhyming on Wall Street — and this piece of history would undoubtedly put a smile on the faces of investors.
Key Points
-
Wall Street’s major stock indexes have been making history with regularity since 2019, with the S&P 500 delivering two separate three-year stretches with annual gains of at least 16% (2019-2021 and 2023-2025).
-
Although springboard bounce-backs in the S&P 500 are uncommon, history suggests this optimistic momentum carries into the following year.
-
However, prior slingshot intra-year bounces have followed the end of liquidity/shock events — and there’s no clear indication that Wall Street has moved beyond its current headwinds.
