September Is The Worst Month For Stocks — And It’s Even Gloomier After A Downbeat August

TedTed
in The Bullpen
FYI: Stock market investors hate to see summer end, and it’s not because they fear shorter days or the back-to-school rush.

August is typically a weak month for stock market performance, and September is the only month that, on average, is worse for equity-market prices.

Since 1937, the average September performance of the S&P 500 index SPX, +0.06% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.16% is a 1% decline, while the Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, -0.13% has seen an average fall of 0.5%, according to Dow Jones Market Data.

Ted
