Since 1978, sentiment has been lower in only one month (June 2022). With the exception of 2011 and 2022, readings this low tend to occur when the U.S. has already been in recession for several months. However, consumer sentiment is a lagging indicator and historical data suggests that extremely low sentiment has often preceded strong stock market returns. Since 1978, in nearly all such instances (excluding June 2008), the S&P 500 has delivered double-digit gains in the following year.
