Why Small-Cap Stocks Are Ignoring a Recession Signal

The Russell 2000 has barely budged while the yield curve remains inverted and the VIX hits 15. Lucas and Luna dig into why small-cap stocks are shrugging off a classic recession warning—and what that means for dip buyers. They examine the index's sector composition, the impact of higher-for-longer rates, and whether this divergence is a buying opportunity or a trap. Plus, they debate whether the market has simply stopped believing the yield curve's predictive power. Specific data points include the Russell 2000 at 2,978, the 10-year yield at 4.54%, and the 2-year at 4.16%. #Russell2000 #SmallCaps #YieldCurve #RecessionSignal #VIX #StockMarket #Investing #DipBuying #Contrarian #MarketDivergence #Finance #BearMarketPodcast #Fexingo #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna #MarketAnalysis #EconomicIndicators Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
