The Small-Cap Crash in June 2026 Explained

The Russell 2000 is down 2.5% in five days while the Dow barely budged. Lucas and Luna dig into the small-cap selloff: why the divergence with large caps is widening, how the VIX surge to 21.5 is hitting small companies hardest, and what the May jobs report on Friday could mean for this corner of the market. They break down the leverage dynamic, the rising Treasury yields, and whether this is a buying opportunity or a warning signal. Plus, a quick look at what the VIX-VVIX gap tells us about complacency versus actual hedging activity.
