GET DAILY SIGNALSSmall-Cap Success: Unleashing the Potential of the Russell 2000 Index
Last week, the major indices closed in positive territory. The Nasdaq index rose by 2.46%. The main triggers were the stocks of NVDA, which increased by 26%, and MRVL, which saw a growth of over 40%. The S&P index only rose by 0.36%. However, the Russell 2000 index declined by 0.26%. Since our robot mostly focuses on broad market stocks, we also closed with mixed results.
Over the weekend, positive news also contributed to the outlook for the following week. WASHINGTON — On Saturday evening, Republicans in the House of Representatives reached a preliminary agreement with the White House to raise the country's borrowing limit and prevent a catastrophic default on U.S. sovereign debt.
"We have come to a principled agreement," said House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Saturday at the Capitol. "We still have a lot of work ahead, but I believe this agreement is fundamentally worthy of the American people."
In the near future, we expect a rise in low-cap companies, which will provide more earning opportunities for our robots. If we look at the S&P and Russell 2000 indices, there is a clear underperformance in low-cap stocks at the moment. It is likely that this situation will be rectified.
