Looking Ahead- Reflections on the 3Q
By Yaser Anwar of Equity Investment Ideas
The markets are entering a period of seasonal vulnerability.
The third quarter is generally a weak one for stocks. In the period after World War II, the S&P 500 has posted an average loss of 0.1% between July and September.
Since 1928, the average third-quarter gain for the “500” has been only 1.1%. Market upturns generally resume in earnest in the fourth quarter, which has, historically, been the strongest.
The Standard & Poor’s Investment Policy Committee target for the “500” by year-end remains 1385.
