May is no April for stock markets. After surviving a scare from the banking sector in March, stocks posted gains in April and fit the historical pattern seen over half a century or more. On the other hand, May hasn't been such a sure performer historically, according to CNBC Pro's analysis of S & P 500 index data on FactSet dating back to 1928. On average, stocks have risen in May 56 out of the 95 years, or about 60% of the time. The market jumps by 3.

Global stocks The MSCI World Index , which captures over 1,500 large and mid-cap stocks across 23 developed countries, has historically underperformed its large U.S. peer in May.
