History says stocks are looking bullish after a big first half of the year: Morning Brief

In the first half of 2024, stocks leapfrogged the wall of worry to deliver another solid set of six-month returns, leading the S&P 500 — and were green 76% of the time.— paved the way for the two worst-performing second halves of the year in the set, down 21.7% and 18.7%, respectively.

The monthly seasonal pattern turns from lackluster in August — with a 0.4% average gain and 52% loss rate — to outright negative average returns in September and October . In general, historical seasonality patterns only account for up to a third of price returns. Big, unexpected catalysts can quickly tip the scales the other direction — so we can only outline tendencies. But it so happens that stock seasonality studies have generally worked well in this bull market, despite the AI moment seeming sui generis.
