Why the Russell 2000 Is Surging in June 2026
from The Investing Podcast with Fexingo: Stocks, Bonds, and Building a Long-Term Portfolio · host Fexingo
Small-cap stocks are suddenly outperforming the S&P 500 and Nasdaq. The Russell 2000 is up more than 3 percent over the past week, while the Nasdaq has slipped. Lucas and Luna break down the rotation, looking at the drivers: lower interest rates after the Fed paused at 3.63 percent, a weaker dollar, and relative valuations that favor smaller companies. They examine recent performance of key small-cap ETFs and discuss whether this is the start of a sustained shift or just a short-term bounce. The conversation also touches on how the SpaceX IPO frenzy is affecting market sentiment and what it means for investors building long-term portfolios. #Russell2000 #SmallCaps #StockMarket #MarketRotation #ValueStocks #FederalReserve #InterestRates #PortfolioStrategy #IWD #VTV #Investing #Finance #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ETF #June2026 #SpaceX #MarketOutperformance Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
