Oil Drops & Market Pops: US Equity Markets Have Declined Along With Oil Prices in Recent Sharp Drops, but Have Rebounded in the Following 12 Months, According to Russell Indexes
(firmenpresse) - SEATTLE, WA -- (Marketwired) -- 02/04/15 -- The U.S. equity market, as reflected by the U.S. large cap Russell 1000® Index and the U.S. small cap Russell 2000® Index, has been in the red in two recent periods in which the price of oil declined by more than 30%*, but has increased sharply in the subsequent twelve months. And this trend has been reflected even more acutely by the Russell Stability (Defensive & Dynamic) Indexes, which measure a portion of the market based on sensitivity to economic cycles, credit cycles, and market volatility, referred to as stability.
From July 1, 2008 through January 30, 2009, U.S. large and small cap stocks both lost more than 35% as illustrated by the Russell 1000 & Russell 2000 Indexes. For this same time period, dynamic-oriented stocks within these indexes declined more sharply than defensive-oriented stocks. In the following twelve months, from February 1, 2009 through January 31, 2010, these same stocks rebounded sharply with dynamic-oriented stocks leading the way.
From May 1, 2011 through September 30, 2011, U.S. large and small cap stocks lost 17.1% and 25.1%, respectively, as illustrated by the Russell 1000 & Russell 2000 Indexes. And, for this same time period, dynamic-oriented stocks within these indexes declined more sharply than defensive-oriented stocks. In the following twelve months, October 1, 2011 through September 30, 2012, these same stocks rebounded sharply with dynamic-oriented stocks leading the way.
From July 1, 2014 through January 26, 2015, oil prices declined nearly 60% and U.S. equity markets have been challenged, though not as much as in previous significant oil price decline environments.
"While past performance of course is no guarantee of future performance, past index returns can put some context around current market events. The sharp decline in the price of oil is one such event, and by utilizing a blend of Russell''s traditional market capitalization weighted and newer alternatively weighted indexes, investors can gain greater insight into where the market has been and where it might go in the future."
