Why Small-Cap Stocks Are Surging While Giants Stall in May 2026

from The Global Economy Podcast with Fexingo: International Markets, Currencies, and World Trade · host Fexingo

As of May 26, 2026, small-cap stocks are on an absolute tear. The Russell 2000 is up 6% over the past five days, more than double the S&P 500's gain. Lucas and Luna dig into why the RUT is finally breaking out while mega-cap tech treads water. They look at the interest-rate narrative, the narrowing trade deficit, and the surprising resilience of domestically focused companies in a strong-dollar world. Plus, they examine whether this rotation has legs or is just a short-term catch-up trade. If you're wondering whether small caps are finally having their moment, this episode is your playbook. #Russell2000 #SmallCaps #StockMarket #May2026 #InterestRates #FederalReserve #Rotation #StrongDollar #TradeDeficit #DomesticEconomy #S&P500 #DowJones #Nasdaq #Investing #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #GlobalEconomy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
