As we continue to monitor and report on stock market returns, it is hard not to notice the similarities of the trends observed so far in 2025 to those we saw in 2022 at this point in time. We used our Performance-to-Date In Market History analysis tools to show that the year-to-date performances observed for the four major U.S. stock market indices are showing some resemblance to what we experienced back in 2022 (Figures 1-4).
Admittedly, past stock market performance is not necessarily a predictor of future performance (it generally is not). However, as we approach the end of the first quarter of 2025, it is hard not to notice the resemblance of market performance observed so far this year to that observed for 2022 at this point in time.
