Navigating September: Understanding seasonal market trends. 

We know that September has historically been a challenging month for the markets. While this month tends to be tricky, understanding the reasons behind this trend will allow you to be better prepared. Here are some key insights: 

  • Market Seasonality: September has proven to be the weakest month for the stock market. Since 1928, the S&P 500 has averaged a performance of -1.2%, closing with gains only 44.3% of the time. 
  • Portfolio Rebalancing: With the year approaching its end, many institutional investors adjust their portfolios, which can increase selling pressure. 
  • Post-Vacation Volatility: The return of traders after summer often brings increased volatility. 
  • Economic Data and Geopolitics:  This month, significant economic data and monetary policy decisions are expected to influence market sensitivity. Moreover, geopolitical tensions remain present, adding uncertainty.  

In a nutshell, while September can be volatile, staying informed will help us navigate with greater confidence. 

We encourage you to continue monitoring the market and preparing for any scenario.
