Yahoo Finance Markets Editor Jared Blikre appears on Catalysts to discuss how market performance (^GSPC, ^DJI, ^IXIC) in January, in particular the S&P 500, is often seen as a predictor for the rest of the year, leading to strong returns, with an average of 17% gains for the year.In contrast, a negative January typically sees weaker outcomes — losing 2% annually on average. Currently, sectors like communication services and healthcare are showing strength, while energy and utilities are lagging behind. Overall, investors are optimistic about a third consecutive year of solid market performance.
