BEAR MARKETS: HISTORY’S MOST BRUTAL LOSSES The S&P 500’s worst meltdown?

The S&P 500 has entered bear market territory, experiencing a peak-to-trough decline of over 21%, marking its fourth bear market in the last seven years. This recent downturn follows a significant drop of 12.1% over four trading days, which ranks as the 12th largest decline since 1950. Historical analysis indicates that recovering from such declines is rare; only three out of 16 instances where the index fell by 15% or more during a year ended positively. The International Monetary Fund has raised concerns about the increasing risk of a structural bear market, given the current record-high global debt levels. The last major bear market occurred during the 2007-2009 financial crisis, when the S&P 500 plummeted by 57% over 17 months.
