S&P 500 midterm election gains since 1950

It turns out the S&P 500 has never dipped between a U.S. midterm election and the following June since 1950. Every single instance analyzed resulted in positive returns, with the average gain sitting at 15.5% from Election Day through June 30 of the subsequent year. The rallies were sometimes massive, including a 29.1% jump after 1954, a 26.7% rise following 1970, and a 23.6% increase after 1994. There isn't a single period where the market failed to finish higher during that window. Data compiled by obermeyerwealth and written by Samuel confirms this consistent upward trend across all decades examined. #UnitedStates
