S&P 500's largest quarterly gain of H2 2024 occurs in Q4 (Oct-Dec) with a meaningful positive rally.

Counter to the claim: the largest H2 2024 quarterly gain occurred in Q3 (+5.5%, which includes Aug/Sep), not Q4 (+1.9%). The 'bulk of the rally in Q4, not Aug/Sep' criterion is contradicted — Q4 was in fact the weakest quarter. Resolvable and unambiguous. No outcome value assigned (scoring stage).

Evidence of what happened

  • S&P 500 quarterly returns for 2024: Q3 +5.5%, Q4 +1.9%. Q4 was the WEAKEST quarter of 2024 — the first time since 2018 that Q4 was the year's weakest — with the index up less than 2%.

    Evidence

  • CNBC year-end recap confirms Q4 momentum faded (Big Tech slowed in the final weeks) even as the S&P 500 finished 2024 up ~23% for the full year.

Corrections

  • certainty verbatim marker: 'should expect' does not appear in this record's verbatim (it is from a different Aug-8 clip); the actual commitment marker in the quoted sentence is 'isn't going to come'/'it's going to come'.
