Stock-market volatility is creating the largest daily price swings since 1929 crash

Further illustrating the degree of daily price swings, the S&P 500 ended a 12-day streak of 1% moves up or down, the Bespoke analysts noted. A 13-day run is longer than anything seen during the 2008 financial crisis and just two shy of the 15 straight days of plus or minus 1% moves seen in October 2002 at the lows of that bear market, they said.
