Why Small Caps Are Surging While Tech Takes a Breather

The Russell 2000 is up 3.1 percent in the last five days while the Nasdaq has slipped 0.2 percent. Lucas and Luna unpack what's driving this rotation into small-cap stocks in mid-June 2026. They look at the yield curve now positively sloped at 39 basis points, the VIX dropping to 17.68, and how real GDP growth of 1.6 percent is supporting domestically focused companies. The hosts discuss whether this is a genuine regime shift or just a temporary reprieve for beaten-down small caps, and what history says about small-cap leadership in a late-cycle environment. They also touch on what SpaceX's massive IPO means for retail investors who might be chasing the next big thing instead of paying attention to the rotation already happening beneath the surface. #Russell2000 #SmallCaps #Nasdaq #TechSelloff #MarketRotation #YieldCurve #VIX #GDP #SpaceX #IPO #RetailInvestors #DomesticStocks #LateCycle #FactorInvesting #Finance #StockMarket #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
