This morning the S&P 500 did something for the first time in 64 trading days dating back to December 14, 2016. It was the first time there was an intraday move of +/- 1% on the index. This morning the S&P 500 at one point was down more than 1%. Whether it will close down that much remains to be seen, but that is the end of a pretty impressive streak for the index. A lot of people may not believe that statistic, given everything that flies around the media headlines, but volatility for the last 64 days has been pretty low.
