I posted this chart right after the end of Q2 this year but wanted to revisit it right as 2022 came to a close to see just how much of a bang this year ended with.
The S&P 500 in 2022 has seen the highest percentage of trading days with an intraday price move of +/-1% in the last decade - 76% of all trading days
2022 has produced 191 days of this volatility which surpasses all years within the last decade
Additionally, the average intraday percent high stands at +0.81% which is the second-highest average move only behind 2020 with an average of +0.87%
The average intraday percent low currently stands at (1.00%) which is the highest average daily decrease in the last decade, ahead of 2020 at (0.82%)
With so much uncertainty of continued inflation, rising rates, recessionary concerns, and panic selling, it seems inevitable that this level of volatility will continue into 2023
Until next time,
