The ‘extreme’ August gust in the stock market may be telling us something about the November election


We are closing in on what could be the best August in stocks since 2000. And that seems optimistic, as futures are at a record high for the S&P 500 SPX on Friday.
+ 0.67%
And Nasdaq Composite COMP,
+ 0.60%.

Of course, autumn and winter are coming, U.S. The election race of will begin to heat up and the Covid-19 war and everything that comes with it. It brings us Call of the dayJulian Emanuel, chief equity and derivatives strategist at BTIG, who says August is a very strong month for stocks – the S&P 500 has risen .2.5 per cent since August 28 – to tell us something about who will win the White House in November.

“At first glance, Donald Trump’s election plays out well in August’s strength – in the three months leading up to the November election, the positive S&P 500 compensation party has won 85.7% of the time,” Emanuel told customers in a note.

The move is to take note of the political, social, public health and economic uncertainty against “a Nasdaq-100” amid a possible “blowoff” top move – a rapid and followed high climb after a rapid drop. But he says it’s hard to say whether we’re at its beginning, middle or end.
