How the Russell 2000 Is Defying the Nasdaq Selloff

The Nasdaq dropped sharply while the Dow and small-cap indexes held steady. In this episode, Lucas and Luna examine the Russell 2000's surprising resilience, what it says about market breadth, and why some small-cap stocks might be worth a closer look. They break down the factors behind the rotation: lower interest rates, domestic revenue exposure, and the shift away from mega-cap tech. Using current data — the S&P 500 at 7,354, the VIX at 18.41, and the 10-year Treasury yield at 4.40 percent — they explore whether this is a signal of a healthier market or just a temporary reprieve. The conversation also touches on the widening gap between growth and value, the impact of Fed policy expectations, and what investors should watch next. A focused episode for anyone wondering if the small-cap rally has legs. #Russell2000 #SmallCaps #MarketBreadth #NasdaqSelloff #StockMarketRotation #VIX #TreasuryYields #FedPolicy #ValueStocks #GrowthStocks #InvestingStrategy #MarketResilience #S&P500 #DowJones #Finance #BearMarketPodcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
