Why Small Caps Are Lagging While Large Caps Hold Steady

In this episode, Lucas and Luna examine the growing disconnect between the Russell 2000 and the S&P 500. The small-cap index slipped 0.1% over the past week while large-cap benchmarks held near record levels. They break down three forces behind the divergence: rising oil prices squeezing margins, the 30-year Treasury yield at 5.17% lifting borrowing costs, and the renewed risk of a Fed rate hike. They also discuss what this means for the 'buy the dip' strategy and long-term portfolio positioning. If you've wondered whether the market rally is as healthy as it looks, this episode offers a reality check. #SmallCaps #Russell2000 #MarketDivergence #OilPrices #FedRateHike #BorrowingCosts #30YearYield #S&P500 #Nasdaq #BuyTheDip #PortfolioStrategy #BearMarketPodcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Finance #Investing #EconomicData #MoodysWarning Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
