Well, if you decided to sell in May and go away, you might have some FOMO after week one.
The SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) is already up more than 2% so far on the month, compared to its average May return of 0.58% since 2010. Looking back at very recent history, SPY has far outpaced its typical May performance by surging 6% in 2025 and 5% in 2024, so we may yet have some upside left to go here before it’s all said and done.
