There's no causal relationship at all. It's just a quirkly little statistic. That said, be careful about assuming that just because something has or has not happened recently it will or won't in the future. Traders have a tendency to weigh recent events more strongly than past ones, usually to their detriment. Rene – Of course you should not use the results of the game as an indicator.

The Pats won in 2004 and 2005 and the Steelers won in 2006 and the markets were up during those years. Of course, the Pats could win this year and the stock market may very well end down for the year. I don’t believe the Superbowl as an indicator of how the stock market will do for the year.
