The stock market obliterated the “sell in May” maxim this summer. Anyone who “went away” missed out on some large gains. These gains came amid unprecedented economic pain, high unemployment, and rising COVID-19 cases. Looking past those massive challenges, investors focused on strengthening economic data, growing receptivity to wearing masks and maintaining social distancing, and steady progress on leading vaccine candidates. In a strange year, the stock market and economy are exiting summer with Brexit negotiations and US presidential electioneering firmly on the front pages. With the chances of a Brexit deal estimated to be as low as 30% and Joe Biden leading in the polls, it would not be surprising to see the stock market find direction one way or the other.
