$SPX rose 0.3% on Wednesday, snapping a streak of six consecutive sessions in the red after the Fed’s interest-rate decision. That was the longest stretch of losses since 2018, when the benchmark posted declines on seven straight decision days, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
The six straight Fed-day losses this year for $SPX before today’s gains had marked the second-longest stretch since 1994, when the US central bank first began announcing policy decisions on the final day of its meetings, data from Bespoke Investment Group show.
