S&P 500 Bull Market Becomes Eighth-Longest at 3.6 Years as Index Eyes 10th Weekly Gain

2 articles · Updated · carsongroup.com · Jun 2

More than 3.6 years into the run, the S&P 500 bull market has surpassed a 1960s cycle to rank as the eighth-longest on record.
Nine straight weekly gains have pushed the index up 10% in 2026, after a 10% jump in April and another 5% rise in May.
A 10% drop in oil last week helped fuel the latest advance as traders bet on progress toward an eventual Iran agreement.
History still points higher: after nine-week rallies, the S&P 500 was up a month later 9 of 10 times and a year later 8 of 10 times, with a 12% median gain.
June remains the main near-term test, with midterm-year Junes averaging a 2.1% decline even as the past decade has seen the month rise 9 times in 10 years.
