Editor’s Note: Seasonality data is a statistical composite of how the price of an asset typically moves during a specific period of time, based on historical data over a defined number of years. Although history may not always repeat, it usually rhymes — especially in certain asset prices like the US stock market, US interest rates and crude oil prices.
