April often sees strong market performance while second quarter in mid-term years lags, Lance Roberts notes
April strength, mid-term Q2 weakness

April has historically been one of the stronger months for markets following difficult February and March periods, according to Lance Roberts. However, Roberts also points out that the second quarter during mid-term U.S. election years tends to be the weakest in the standard four-year cycle.

He advises market participants to take these seasonal trends into account when considering their trading strategies.

Roberts has previously flagged the VIX indicating potential for a near-term correction in equity markets. He has also drawn attention to tax risks tied to IRA accounts as investors prepare for regulatory changes. These issues remain on the radar as market participants consider seasonal influences.
