The S&P 500 just fell 60+ points in under an hour to its lowest level since July 5th.
Meanwhile, the volatility index, $VIX, is now up to its highest level since April 2024.
The $VIX is up nearly 30% in July 2024 but still well below the highs seen in April.
Volatility is back.
We just witnessed history:
It has now been 352 trading days without a 2% down day in the S&P 500, the longest stretch in 14 years.
This is also the 10th longest streak in the history of the stock market.
With the election and Fed in the spotlight, we have seen multiple daily drops of 1%+ over the last couple of weeks.
Periods of low volatility are almost always followed by periods of high volatility.
The current period of low volatility is coming to an end.
Large-cap stocks are MASSIVE:
Large-cap growth compared to small-cap value stocks just hit their highest level since the Dot-com bubble.

This is even higher than levels seen prior to the 2020 Pandemic of 1.6x.
Since 2023, large-cap growth stocks are up 97% compares to an 18% gain in small-cap value stocks.
Big companies continue to get bigger.
