S&P 500 declines from all-time highs

Characteristics of past bear and bull markets*

Source: FactSet, NBER, Robert Shiller, Standard & Poor’s, J.P. Morgan Asset Management. *A bear market represents a 20% or more decline from the previous market high using a monthly frequency; a bull market represents a 20% increase from a market trough. Periods of “recession” are defined using US National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) business cycle dates. “Commodity spike” is defined as significant rapid upward moves in oil prices. Periods of “extreme valuations” are those where S&P 500 last 12 months P/E levels were approximately two standard deviations above long-run averages. “Aggressive Fed tightening” is defined as US Federal Reserve monetary tightening that was unexpected and significant in magnitude.

Source: FactSet, MSCI, Standard & Poor’s, US Treasury, J.P. Morgan Asset Management. Returns are based on price index only and do not include dividends. The “initial reaction” represents the period during which, in our judgment, markets began pricing the first rate hike through the date of the second rate hike. The “subsequent market reaction” is the period from the second rate hike to a point determined to be the end of the rate hiking cycle. The “total reaction” is the market movement across the full rate hiking cycle. Guide to the Markets - Europe. Data as of 30 September 2015.

All securities were classified as either "value" securities (low P/BV securities) or "growth" securities (high P/BV securities), relative to each MSCI country index.
