Happy holiday Moomooers! How's your Christmas Eve going? Stock markets closed at 1 pm EST today. Let's take a brief look. Trading was thin during holidays, and the trading volume is almost 40% below the 30-day average. Equity gauges went slightly lower and Treasuries edged higher.
On Christmas Eve last year, the S&P 500 Index had dropped 20% and the bear was almost there.
But this year, though the benchmarks declined a little today, the S&P 500 Index still has gained 28% for the year.
Historically, gains in the last three months in 2019 has been in line with those normal in the past:

The average return overs years of the last quarter each year is 7.86%, lower than this year’s 8.66%.
The S&P 500 has not dropped over 1% since Oct. 8, but it hasn’t ever climbed over 1% since then either.
