We noted previously that there hasn’t been a single instance when the U.S. equity benchmark pulled back 5 percent from its highs in 2017. The last time the market slumped at least that much was in the aftermath of the June 2016 Brexit vote -- marking a 267-day streak that’s the longest since 1996, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The last time equity markets went this deep into a year without all three of those benchmark indexes suffering at least 5% pullbacks was nearly a quarter-century ago, in 1993.
