S&P 500 Back to Back Declines of 1%

The current market sell off marks only the fifth time since the March 9th low that the S&P 500 has had back to back declines of 1%.  In the chart below of the S&P 500, we show each of those prior occurrences as well as the additional decline the S&P 500 saw before making a low.  As shown, in two periods (3/20 and 3/30) the low was put in with the second day's decline.  In the other two periods, the S&P 500 saw additional declines of 3.6% (6/16) and 2.9% (10/26).


Earlier today, we put out a note for clients and looked at the market's historical performance following back to back 1% declines.  To view the report, subscribe to Bespoke Premium today.
