SPGI, ED: Circuit Breaking Insights

Last Friday, the S&P 500 surged over 2% and simultaneously reached a record high for the first time since March 21, 2000. This event was not unprecedented; similar 2%+ surges coinciding with new highs were seen 9 times in the 1990s and 11 times from 1952 to 1989.
