The September Effect on the Stock Market

September has historically been the worst month for stock market performance, with declines affecting major indices like the S&P 500 and NASDAQ. Data shows that the S&P 500 has averaged a monthly decline of about 1.2% during September, suffering losses in nearly half of the years since 1928. The phenomenon can be attributed to delayed responses to bad news, as many investors are returning from vacation and reassessing their portfolios, which often results in selling off underperforming stocks. This trend was evident in recent market activity, with significant drops in tech stocks like Nvidia, reflecting heightened anxiety among investors regarding economic conditions.
