Trump Tariff Spat Has Stock Dip Buyers Obsessed With Wednesdays
This article is for subscribers only.
Investors can rely on one crucial day of the week to deliver strong dip-buying opportunities for the S&P 500 Index thus far in 2025: Wednesdays.
Traders lately have been selling first and asking questions later to lock in gains ahead of the weekend as stocks zig-zag on President Donald Trump’s tariff plans. That’s why Wednesdays this year have racked up gains that — if annualized — would reach 127%, according to data compiled by Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist at Carson Group. The weeks generally start and end badly, with Mondays and Fridays delivering annualized losses that exceed 40%.
