S&P 500 Returns

What It Is

S&P 500 daily close-to-close log returns (^GSPC, 1928+). The canonical U.S. equity benchmark; heavy tails, volatility clustering, leverage effects.

Interpretation

Standard analysis sees: heavy-tailed; left-skewed; time-irreversible (sharp rises, slow decay). The atlas finds no named structure, but the source is distinctively extreme on Wasserstein:distributional_stationarity (-2.8z) — beyond what the standard bank predicts for it.
