What is October Effect?

October effect is the belief that the market tends to decline in the month of October. Today this is considered only as a psychological expectation of traders rather than an actual phenomenon. Statistics over the years shows that October is just like any other month. An opposite phenomenon is observed in the month of January known as January Effect, which is more common and is related to tax paying.





The month of October makes many traders and investors nervous as many serious market declines occurred in the month of October. The 1907 panic, 1929 Wall Street crash which preceded the great depression, black Monday and crash of 1987 and the recent 2008 credit crisis occurred in October. Moreover, it is the month of the last earnings season of a year, so prices are expected to fluctuate in either direction.

Statistics of the last 30 years shows that on an average, October is not the worst month of the year, it is September. In the late 90s and early 2000, October was the most profitable month of the year. In 1946, 1957, 1960, 1966, 1974, 1987, 1990, 2001, and 2002 October was also the month which ended some of the major bear markets. One reason for this is, as the phenomenon is widely known and expected, traders are prepared to exploit any decline/sell-off.
