Russell 2000 (^RUT - small-cap USA) is booming strongly at the beginning of 2026!
• Current price ~2,730 points (up ~1.1-1.3% today), continuously setting new historical peaks (7 records in just the first few weeks of the year).
• YTD 2026: +~8-9%, significantly outperforming S&P 500 and Nasdaq (clear rotation from mega-cap to small-cap).
• Main reasons: Strong US economy (strong GDP), Fed cutting rates to support, attractive valuation (P/E ~18x compared to S&P ~22-31x), expectations for higher small-cap earnings growth (15-19% forecast for 2026). Trump's policies (fiscal stimulus, capex, reshoring) further benefit small-cap.
Technical: Strong Buy, strong breakout, high momentum, many analysts target 2,800-3,000+ (potential +15-40% long-term if maintained).
Conclusion: Small-cap is leading the market, this is a true "great rotation". If you trade futures/cash on Binance, this is a good long-term opportunity, but be aware of high volatility and short-term pullbacks.
