Market corrections happen for many reasons, but their depth often depends on the broader economic backdrop. Over the past 50 years, when the S&P 500 declined by at least 10% without a recession, losses averaged around 16%.
However, when corrections occurred alongside a recession, the market typically fell nearly 40%. While it’s unclear how the current environment will unfold, history suggests that economic conditions can influence market outcomes.
