Did You Miss The Market Bounce? Apple and These 5 Name-Brand Stocks Are All Up 30% From The Bottom

While the jury is still out on whether June 16, 2022, marked a bottom that the markets won't return to this year, stocks have been rallying.

The S&P 500 dropped six times in seven sessions amid a widespread sell-off and growing recessionary concerns in response to global central banks' actions to combat increasing inflation following the Federal Reserve's highest rate hike since 1994.

The Fed issued an aggressive 75-basis point rate hike in June, it issued an additional 75-basis point rate hike in July and is considering a third rate hike in September.

Since June 16, the S&P 500 has climbed 15.04%, supported by the index's heaviest stocks including Apple and Amazon, both of which have soared above 15%.
