Bidenomics: S&P 500 in 2022 down almost 20%, worst year since 2008

Share

Stocks dropped on Friday as Wall Street ended its worst year in eight years with a whimper.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 73.55 point, or 0.2%, to close at 33.147.25. S&P 500 fell 0.25% to 3,839.50. The Nasdaq Composite dropped 0.11%, to 10,466.88.

Friday marked the end of a difficult year for stocks. The major averages all suffered their worst year since 2008, snapping a three-year winning streak. The Dow, which fell 8.8% in 2022 was the index that performed the best. The S&P 500 fell 19.4% and is now more than 20% lower than its record high. Meanwhile, the tech-heavy Nasdaq plunged 33.1%.

Investor sentiment was affected by persistent inflation and aggressive rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. Market volatility and geopolitical worries also kept them on edge.

“We’ve had everything from Covid problems in China to the invasion of Ukraine. They’ve all been very serious. But for investors, it is what the Fed is doing,” Art Cashin, UBS floor operations director, spoke on CNBC’s “The Exchange.”

Some investors believe the pain will continue as the year progresses. The bear market is expected to continue until a recession strikes or the Fed pivots. Others predict that stocks will fall to new lows, before rebounding in 2023’s second half.

“I would love to tell you that it is going to be like the ‘Wizard of Oz’ and everything is going to be in glorious color in a moment or two. I think we may have a bumpy first quarter, and depending on the Fed it may last a little longer than that,” Cashin said.

Despite the annual losses, the Dow Jones and S&P 500 did not lose three quarters in the last three months. However, the Nasdaq was dominated by Microsoft, Apple and Tesla, which managed to get through its fourth consecutive quarter of negative results for the first time since 2001. The December averages however are all negative.

This year, communication services was the worst performing sector of the S&P 500, with a drop of more than 40%. Consumer discretionary was next, but not as bad. Only energy saw an increase of 59%.
