Despite the crisis in the financial sector, which involved the collapse of banks, an increase in investor concerns, and the possibility of an impending recession, the opening of trading in April followed a fantastic quarter on Wall Street. Thanks in large part to technology stocks, the S&P500 index has experienced a 7% increase since the beginning of the year.
Can optimism be sustained? Looking at past trends, the answer seems to be yes, particularly in the month of April. Historically, April has been a robust month for the stock market, with the S&P500 index showing mostly positive returns for over a decade, averaging at 2.3%. In the past 20 years, April has been the most profitable month in 80% of the cases, making it a particularly strong month for investors.
According to statistics, the past 15 years have seen gains in 14 cases. Additionally, the Dow Jones index typically experiences positive momentum in April, with an average return of 2.18%. However, past performance does not guarantee future results, and it is important to keep in mind that the stock market can be unpredictable and volatile, and many factors can impact its performance.
The primary concern is whether the anticipated decrease or halt in interest rates will materialize. Currently, there is an intriguing market situation, as the first quarter saw significant gains in the stock market, particularly in technology stocks. The banking crisis prompted investors to shift from stable bank stocks to technology stocks, in anticipation of a potential decrease or cessation in interest rate hikes in response to the crisis.
If the markets continue to stabilize and the Fed signals a reduction in interest rates, the trend observed in the first quarter is expected to persist.
The upcoming release of inflation data next Wednesday will likely shed light on the direction the Fed and the market are heading. These figures will have a significant impact on the market, but given the current market conditions, it is more challenging than usual to predict the extent to which the Fed's actions will affect the market.
