S&P 500 Largest Pullbacks in the First Five Months of Each Year

Over the last 50 years, the S&P 500 has performed the first five months of the year without a decline of at least a 2.5% pullback only once in 1995.

The US stock market experiences a pullback every year. Even if the S&P 500 hits all-time high after 6 months without a record high, keep in mind that it won’t be any different this year. See S&P 500 Intra-Year Declines vs. Calendar Year Returns.
