2% Days: Welcome Back!

After a long stretch with little or no one-day changes of 2% in the S&P 500, over the last month, 2% days are now a weekly occurrence.  Over the last 25 trading days, there have been six sessions where the S&P 500 moved up or down at least 2%.  This is the greatest frequency since April 2003.
