Historically, December has shown an average positive return of 1.2-1.5% for the market, with positive outcomes 73-75% of the time since 1950. A potential end-of-year rally, possibly fueled by a Fed rate cut and continued AI momentum, could see the S&P 500 (SPY) reach $7000 if it gains 2.5% by year-end. Investors might consider positioning for a bullish December.
