Typical July Trading: Strong First Half, Tepid Second Half
By: Almanac Trader | July 4, 2018



July has gotten off to a rather typical start. After struggling much of yesterday’s trading session, the market did rally to finish the day positive, extending the first trading day of July’s bullish track record another year. Historically after the first trading day the market tends to take a bit of a breather with choppy, sideways trading from the second trading day through the seventh. This period surrounds the Fourth of July holiday where shortened trading days, road trips, BBQ’s and fireworks pull attention away from markets. Afterwards, usually around the eighth trading day of the month, markets begin to rally again. NASDAQ generally leads, contributing to its mid-year rally while Russell 2000 generally lags. From the fourteenth trading day until the end of the month the trend is lower to sideways.
