Since 1989, the S&P 500 has traded positively in the month of June only 55 percent of the time. The broad measure of U.S. stock market performance has lost an average of 0.49 percent. The Dow has fared even worse and the Nasdaq not much better.
Over the past decade, the S&P has logged three consecutive weeks of losses on 18 other occasions. A month after these declines, stocks tend to bounce back.
