As the 2024 presidential election approaches, market experts predict increased volatility in the stock market. According to historical trends, the stock market often falls in the two months leading up to Election Day. Market veteran Ed Yardeni suggests that the market will experience volatility until the election before resuming its rally to record highs. A study of the VIX, also known as the 'fear index,' across eight election cycles since 1992, reveals a clear trend of heightened volatility during this period. Investors are advised to avoid letting election outcomes drive their investment decisions, as this could lead to missed opportunities. The 8/5 low on the S&P 500 is considered the initial selloff point, indicating that the market is still in a window of volatility.
