Thanksgiving Week: A Bullish Boost for Stocks

Thanksgiving week has historically been a bullish period for the stock market, with the S&P 500 ending the week in the green three-quarters of the time since 1961. Wednesdays just before Thanksgiving have delivered the best historical gains. Energy has been the best-performing sector during this week, followed by materials, tech, consumer discretionary, and communication services. Financials have fared the worst. The bullish seasonals continue into the new year, with November to January being the best consecutive three-month span and the "Santa Claus Rally" typically occurring. Investors can consider a super-seasonal trade by buying the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and holding through the second trading day of the new year, which has historically resulted in an average gain of 2.57% for the S&P 500.
