The coming week will feature a shortened trading week due to the observance of America’s Independence Day on Friday, July 3. Even with the short week, the July 4th week has historically shown market strength.

In fact, a look back at the S&P 500’s 50-year history shows that it is nearly 3x more likely to post a gain during the July 4th week.
