Surprisingly, the S&P 500 recovered remarkably quickly, driven by monetary and fiscal stimulus policies, the advancement of vaccines, and the rise of technology companies. During this period, it reached new all-time highs.
Volatility and corrections (2022-2023): 2022 was a more challenging year, with the S&P 500 experiencing significant corrections due to high inflation, the tightening of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy (interest rate hikes), and concerns about a possible recession. 2023 showed a recovery, with the index rising again as inflation outlooks improved and corporate earnings remained relatively solid.
Recent upward trend (2024 - mid-2025): So far in 2024 and until mid-2025, the S&P 500 has continued its upward trend, reaching new records. This has been largely driven by:
Enthusiasm for artificial intelligence (AI): Key technology companies, especially those related to AI (such as NVIDIA), have experienced exponential growth, significantly contributing to the index's performance.
Solid corporate earnings: Despite inflationary pressures and higher interest rates, many companies have managed to maintain or even increase their profits.
