The S&P 500 Was Up 1.6% in January. Here's What Has Historically Happened in the Markets After a Good First Month.: https://g.foolcdn.com/editorial/images/764133/analyst-looking-at-charts.jpg

The markets have started 2024 strong, with the S&P 500 rising 1.6% in January. And that's after coming off a solid year in 2023, where the index rose by 24%. Despite concerning geopolitical conditions and the possibility of a recession on the horizon, the stock market has performed well over the past year, and doesn't show signs of slowing down.

But is there any real significance to the S&P 500's strong January?

I pulled the historical data for the S&P 500 going back to 1973, and can confirm that the markets get off to a good start more often than not.
