  • History - and markets - are on our side. The post History says the S&P 500 will go against intuition in 2025 after a record-breaking year appeared first on The Motley Fool Australia.

The article from MSN discusses historical trends of the S&P 500, suggesting that despite the common intuition that a record-breaking year might be followed by a downturn, historical data indicates otherwise. It highlights that after significant gains, like those seen in 2023, the S&P 500 has often continued to perform well in the subsequent year. Specifically, the article notes that in the 12 months following a year where the S&P 500 rose by more than 20%, the index has historically averaged a 10% return. This challenges the notion that markets are due for a correction after a strong performance, pointing out that investors might be underestimating the potential for continued growth. The piece also references past years like 1995, 1997, 2013, and 2017, where the S&P 500 continued its upward trend after significant gains, suggesting that 2025 could follow a similar pattern.
