There is a longstanding Wall St. saying which says, ‘Sell in May, and Go Away’. This is because summer has a reputation for being a weak time for US stocks. So, does that mean a summer slide is ahead for US stocks this year? Taking a look at the seasonal pattern for the S&P 500 between August 01 and October 01. Over the last 15 years, the S&P 500 has fallen around 50% of the time for an average fall of 1.80%. Although it has been 50/50 whether the S&P 500 falls through this time the extent of the falls has been notable. In 2011 the S&P 500 fell nearly 15%, in 2022 it fell 10.69%, and in 2015 an 8.30% fall.

Will the S&P 500 see similar falls again this year between Aug 01 and Oct 01?

Major Trade Risks: Note that previous seasonal patterns do not necessarily repeat themselves each year.
