S&P500 Seasonality

The month of April proved relatively generous for the S&P500 (and global stick indices in general), which supports my thesis for prolonged improvement in risk appetite into the better part of the month. Although December proved statistically to have shown the most consistently positive returns, April has not fared poorly. On the negative side, April 2000 was the beginning of the burst of the tech bubble, April 2002 was in the centre of the 2000-2002 bear market, while April 2004 and April 2005 were hampered by the early stages of Fed tightening. April 2001 showed the biggest percentage gains as these were propped by a further surprising intermeeting rate cuts from the Greenspan Fed.
