While the over 11% year-to-date gains for the S&P 500 index show 2023 has been a “good year” for stocks, that hardly tells the whole story, says Jonathan...

U.S. stocks have risen sharply in 2023, with a small number of technology companies driving an ever-increasing share of the stock-market gains.

The Russell 3000 RUA — a barometer that represents approximately 98% of the American equities — had a median return of negative 2.2% this year, but the index has gained 11.3% year to date, wrote Krinsky, citing BTIG and Bloomberg data. In 2014, the median return for the Russell 3000 was 6.9%, and it recorded a yearly gain of 10.4%.

So far in 2023, investors have struggled to brush off a rise in Treasury yields primarily triggered by the Federal Reserve bumping up interest rates and the risk of recession, with hope that the stock-market rally hasn’t run out of steam yet. As a result, investors were hoping October and the last quarter of 2023 could bring some relief to the scorching summer selloff they had to endure in markets. Historically, the fourth quarter has been the best quarter for the U.S. stock market, with the S&P 500 index up nearly 80% dating back to 1950 and gaining more than 4% on average, according to data compiled by Carson Group.
