The S&P 500 established a new record closing level today, officially completing its most rapid recovery phase since 1982. This historic rebound signifies the shortest duration between a market trough and a full return to previous peaks observed in nearly four decades.
Market data indicates that the index has generated approximately $7.3 trillion in additional market capitalization since reaching its cycle low on March 30th. This massive expansion in valuation reflects a significant acceleration in equity prices over the months following the spring bottom.
