US enters the longest bull market in its history; Completes 9.5 years of bull run

The United States stock market has set the record for the longest bull run in its history. The performance of the market on Wednesday marked the longest bull market run.

The current bull market began on March 09, 2009, when the S&P 500 index was at 676 which was the result after the Great Recession. After about 9 and a half years, the S&P 500 has increased by around 323 percent.

While the average increment of S&P 500 was about 323 points, the top ranked companies showcase a much more return in the period. The top ranked GGP recorded an increment of more than 7,248% in the 9 and half years’ time.

Mosaic Co. was the top loser even in this phase of the market which recorded a decline of 27% in its value over the years.

The bull has survived amid a decade of financial and political upheaval, thanks in part to the all-you-can-eat liquidity feast hosted by the Federal Reserve and other major central banks. And now when the government has brought changes in the tax policies, some investors have started predicting its downfall. While there are still many investors who believe that the market has still plenty of space to grow.

The market which started its rise after the Great Recession had to overcome a lot of problem to reach the stage. The investors’ mindset which had been low in confidence has now reached its height with the bullish market. The investors are eager to invest and the consumer-focused companies have benefited the most.
