Why the Russell 2000 Is Surging While Big Tech Stalls

The stock market is rotating in real time. In this episode of The Stock Market Podcast with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna break down the divergence between the Russell 2000 and the S&P 500. The small-cap index is up 3.2% in the last five days while the Nasdaq Composite is down 0.3%. What's driving the shift? We look at the Fed's rate cut in May, the VIX settling at 18.39, and the VVIX signaling tail-risk hedging. Plus, we explain why Apple and Microsoft are underperforming while regional banks and industrial stocks are catching bids. If you're trying to position for the second half of 2026, this rotation matters. No fluff, just the data and the narrative.
