Russell 2000 Smashes 21% as Gold Death Crosses and Coffee Soars 8%

On today's episode of Market Brief – After Hours, we cover Wall Street's historic close to the first half of 2026 — small caps just posted their best six-month run since 1991, and chip stocks powered the Dow to a fresh record. We dig into gold's newly formed death cross and what it signals for the bearish trend ahead, plus coffee's biggest single-day surge since 2023. We also cover record highs across Europe, mixed data out of Asia, oil's brutal monthly decline, and moves in EUR/USD, GBP/USD and USD/JPY. Hosted on Acast.
