Historically, this period has yielded positive returns approximately 76% of the time since 1999, with an average gain of 1.7% when a rally occurs. 
As of today, the S&P 500 has gained over 23% this year. However, December has seen declines, raising concerns about the likelihood of a Santa Claus Rally. The Federal Reserve’s recent indication of fewer interest rate cuts in 2025 has contributed to market volatility. 
Despite these challenges, some analysts remain optimistic. They note that the market’s primary uptrends are still intact and the economy remains strong, suggesting the possibility of a year-end rally!
Fingers crossed!
