@RyanDetrick: S&P 500 gains 1.4% in January

Ryan Detrick reports that the S&P 500 index increased by 1.4% in January. Historically, when January sees gains, the rest of the year has followed suit in 87% of cases. Detrick suggests that, based on past performance, 2026 might be an above-average year for investors, especially given the S&P 500's modest rise between 0-2%, which has only seen a decline once.

Such positive momentum in January aligns with historical signals Detrick has analyzed before, including periods marked by a five-year record of end-of-year declines for the S&P 500, which underscored previous market vulnerabilities. Additionally, his examination of the index weathering recurring 10% yearly corrections since 1980 provides further context on how short-term gains may fit within the S&P 500's broader cycles of resilience.
