In this episode of Bull Market Conversations, Lucas and Luna dive into the striking divergence between the Russell 2000 and the S&P 500 in late May 2026. With the Russell up 3.6% over the past five days versus the S&P's 1.2%, small caps are clearly leading. They explore the drivers: lower interest rates making debt cheaper for smaller companies, domestic revenue exposure shielding them from tariff volatility, and a weaker dollar boosting exports. Lucas highlights how the Fed holding rates steady at 3.64% fuels optimism for rate-sensitive sectors like regional banks and homebuilders. The conversation also touches on the performance of individual small-cap stocks and ETFs, and what this means for portfolio positioning. As always, they offer a sharp, data-backed take for investors looking to ride market momentum. #Russell2000 #SmallCaps #BullMarket #S&P500 #MarketLeadership #May2026 #FedRate #RateSensitive #RegionalBanks #Homebuilders #WeakerDollar #ExportGrowth #PortfolioStrategy #IWM #StockMarket #Investing #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
