Chart of the Day - Monday, June 16, 2025

🏆  Today's Chart of the Day was shared by Bespoke (@bespokeinvest). 
  

• The S&P 500 ($SPY) rose nearly +1% today, recovering most of the damage from Friday's sell-off. 
   
• While $SPY is only up +2.6% year-to-date, Bespoke points out that it's on pace for its best intraday performance since 1995, gaining an average of 8.8 bps from open to close. 
   
• Other years with strong intraday gains—like 1995, 2003, 2009, and 2023—occurred during the early stages of multi-year bull markets.
   

The Takeaway: Despite modest year-to-date gains for the S&P 500, strong intraday performance suggests underlying strength, echoing past early bull market environments such as 1995 and 2009.
