January brought in positive returns, which gives us a positive January Barometer for 2026. While not a magical statistic, this usually bodes well for the remainder of the year. With a positive first month, the S&P 500 ends the year positive 89% of the time, with an average return of 16.9% in those years. We have seen the Nasdaq 100 stall out since October, which has been a headwind for the S&P 500. However, Small Caps and Mid Caps have held their own, adding on to their outperformance from Q4. On top of that, foreign equities, also continue their strong march higher. The US Dollar continues to falter, which may or may not be a small tailwind here in the US, but it is certainly boosting international equities. The risk-off behavior across the cryptocurrency landscape has yet to spill into broad equities, which is a good sign, as sometimes the stock indices will trade in sympathy with any surprise shocks to bigger players like Bitcoin, which peaked in early October.
