Seasonality and bearish sentiment could create an opportunity for investors next month — but policy uncertainty remains.

The article from MSN Money discusses the current state of the stock market, highlighting that stocks are experiencing their worst performance since 2022, with the S&P 500 down nearly 6% in the first quarter of the year. Despite this downturn, there's an optimistic outlook for potential buying opportunities in April. The piece mentions that historical data shows April tends to be a positive month for stocks, with the S&P 500 gaining an average of 1.5% over the past 20 years. Analysts suggest that the recent market sell-off might be overdone, driven by concerns over inflation, rising interest rates, and banking sector issues, but these could present value for investors looking for long-term gains. The article also notes that while the market has been volatile, sectors like technology and consumer discretionary have been hit particularly hard, potentially setting up for a rebound if economic conditions stabilize.
