The S&P 500 Is Up 13% This Year. Is It Overdue for a Steep Decline?
The index is on track for another above-average performance in 2026.
Overview
Investor sentiment has been changing rapidly this year. At one point, the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) was down by more than 7% as the war in Iran began. But now, with a recent round of solid tech earnings in the books, investor sentiment appears strong once again, with the broad index up around 13% and hitting a fresh all-time high on Tuesday.
Forget inflation, rising oil prices, trade issues, and a K-shaped economy; all those fears. The market is still running red hot. But the big question is: can it last? Is the S&P 500 likely to rise even higher this year, or could this recent rally inevitably lead to a much larger disaster later on?
