Setbacks during Monthly Transitions"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p><strong>This month now marks the sixth time during the last thirteen months that there has been some kind of trading difficulty at the beginning of a new month.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It&#8217;s a small sample, but 46% of the time during the last thirteen months there has been some kind of market stumble.<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;And some of these stumbles are not insignificant &#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The market was lower by 6.1% during the July to August transition (July to August 2024).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The market lost 4.2% during the August to September transition (Aug to September 2024).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The market declined by 11.2% during the March to April transition (March to April 2025 &#8212; Liberation Day trading).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And in the most recent monthly transitions \u2013 a 1.6% decline from July to August and a 70-basis point loss from August to September.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those numbers represent performance for the S&amp;P 500 from month-end to the lowest levels at the beginning of the new month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why is this occurring?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>All sorts of investors tend to move either at the end of a month or the beginning of a new month.<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;And these movements have little to do with company-specific fundamentals.&nbsp;&nbsp;They can, however, have an outsized impact on market volatility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So, who are these investors?&nbsp;&nbsp;Quantitative investors for one.&nbsp;&nbsp;There are a tremendous number of quant strategies used to manage portfolios, and many of those strategies are designed to systematically rebalance once a month.<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;It&#8217;s a combination of math and consistency.&nbsp;&nbsp;And a &#8220;clean&#8221; time to undertake such a systematic rebalance is month-end.&nbsp;&nbsp;Or the beginning of the month.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Asset Allocators also tend to move at the beginning or end of the month.<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;As an example, think deployment of 401k contributions following pay cycles.&nbsp;&nbsp;And asset managers of various stripes, including ETFs, make use of end-of-month (EOM) index options to manage flows and true up positions.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Together, these activities can, and often do, generate volatility during or exiting month-to-month transitions.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here&#8217;s the million-dollar question. &nbsp;How do we know when a new month stumble will be a dip that will be bought or when the market will continue to tumble lower?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;re familiar with the saying that there are no guarantees other than death and taxes \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Well, in the six most recent market stumbles during these monthly transitions (dating back to August 2024) our algorithm for demand was at neutral or higher at month-end (We measure demand in the marketplace by an algorithm that we call Sentiment).&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/strong>In other words, behind the scenes there was healthy demand for equities as Sentiment was at neutral or higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To summarize, having trading hiccups at the beginning of a new month is nothing new.&nbsp; <\/strong>1) These dips are usually bought, thanks in part to relentless ETF flows (a subject for another blog).&nbsp; 2) Our Broad Market Sentiment algorithm provides you with a tool to know what demand is in the marketplace ahead of these monthly transitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Would you like to learn
