At the lows on Wednesday, the average stock in the S&P 1500 was down 14.8% year-to-date. The average Energy stock was down more than double that at -30.7%!
Since Wednesday’s lows, though, we’ve seen a rip-roaring rally. As you can see in the chart below, the average S&P 1500 stock is up 7% since then, while the average Energy stock is up 22%.

It wasn’t just a rough week for US equities, it was the roughest opening week for the S&P 500 in the index’s history. In the process, the chart of the S&P 500 and other major averages really broke down during the week with both the Russell 2000 (Small Caps), S&P 400 (Mid Caps) breaking through their lows from 2015. Can it get any worse than this week?

It’s always nice to end the week on a good note with a gain of close to 2% in the S&P 500, even if that 2% gain was still only barely enough to push the index into the black. In what was, by any standards, a volatile week for the equity market, the S&P 500 was whipped around by central bank jawboning and actions that pushed currencies and various asset classes around like a rag doll. After starting off the week with a relatively mild decline of 0.46%, the S&P 500 rallied 1.07% on Tuesday and then gave back all of those gains on Wednesday. On Thursday, ECB President Mario Draghi unveiled additional stimulus measures in the form of lower rates and added QE, but after a big buildup into the event, investors found themselves completely underwhelmed and sold anything they could get their hands on. At the end of the day, the S&P 500 was down 1.44% with a very important jobs report on deck for Friday. Friday’s jobs report came in better than expected, but with a December rate hike already fully priced into the markets, investors reacted positively sending the S&P 500 up 2% for the day and just over one point on the week. You wouldn’t think it, but with four straight daily moves of 1%+ up or down, the S&P 500 hasn’t seen this much day to day volatility since the August lows.
