October carries an outsized reputation for market turmoil, with some of the biggest monthly stock declines in history having occurred during the month, according to CNBC.
Despite that reputation, CNBC's report frames October as a month investors tend to watch closely, given the historical pattern of sharp swings alongside periods of strong performance.
The report did not provide specific year-by-year figures or name particular past declines, focusing instead on the broader seasonal pattern heading into this October.
