The US is strategy tax day, why it issues for the inventory market

Right here is an effective chart from Goldman Sachs illustrating each day seasonals in April. It is a scorching month however the days up-to and together with the US April 15 tax-filing deadline are sluggish.

“Tax Day is a seasonal weak period, on the day by day chart, but April remains fairly strong seasonal month. Liquidity gets drained and lower demand for YOLO call options,” Goldman writes.
