One-Month Forward Equity Returns (%)
As of November 14, 2018
The colored bars represent the path of West Texas Intermediate oil prices over the past 12 months. A “large” drop or increase is between 1.5 and 2.5 standard deviations from the mean, a “medium” drop or increase is between 0.5 and 1.5 standard deviations from the mean, and flat is between –0.5 and 0.5 standard deviations from the mean. A “major selloff” is defined as the point when oil prices dip 15% below their five-year average, and normal conditions are anything above that.
*Due to a small number of instances of a large move in oil prices under these two scenarios, the medium and large categories were combined into one.
