Bloomberg•3 days agoU.S. Small-Cap Rout Shows They're No Haven From Trade Turmoil
Stocks in the Russell 2000 Index were among the hardest hit in a broad equity rout as traders dug in for a protracted dispute between the U.S. and China. A tumble of as much as 1.9% had the gauge poised to close below its 50-day, 100-day and 200-day moving averages for the first time since the market recovered from last year’s sell-off. The rationale was that smaller U.S. companies that get a lesser portion of their sales from overseas won’t be as hurt by tariffs.

Investors who see small caps as a trade war safe haven will likely get burned, BofA warns
As investors try to cope with the ongoing U.S.-China trade war, BofA-Merrill Lynch is telling investors to resist the temptation to invest in small cap stocks. Jill Carey Hall, the firm's small cap expert, warns the widely held perception they're insulated from the effects is ill-conceived — adding fundamentals in the space remain challenged. "Small cap earnings have been coming in in-line with expectations.

As the S&P 500 Index slumped less than 0.5 percent Monday, global equities fared much worse, with one measure posting the biggest loss in six weeks. The Russell 2000 outperformed China’s Shanghai Composite Index by the most since February 2016. U.S. “markets have been exerting restraint in not overreacting -- the ‘we have seen this movie before’ appears to be a market narrative, with both the price action and the dispersion across risk assets not catching up with the drama in China,’’ wrote Michael Purves, the chief global strategist at Weeden & Co.

The Dow Dropped 122 Points, but Small-Cap Stocks Gained. That’s Good News.

Bloomberg•24 days agoPowell’s Gut Punch to Equities May Be a Belly Rub: Taking Stock
Fed Chairman Powell, as history has told us before, failed to deliver in the short term for the stock market (not that that is his job), adding yet another down session for equities on decision day (just one of the 10 meetings over which he has presided led to the SPX ending higher). The consensus from the FOMC meeting was that prospects for a rate cut (did we really think that was coming?) are now fading. Fed fund futures were anticipating a near 24% chance of a rate cut in June, and a slightly higher chance (32%) in July -- those are now ~6% and 16% respectively.

The stock market is red hot right now. The S&P 500 is having its best start to the year in 32 years. "If we see the breakout above that September high, which was right around 2,941 — if that breakout is confirmed meaning we spend more than just a week above it, then we should see long term follow through on the back of that breakout," Fairlead Strategies' Katie Stockton said Tuesday on CNBC's "Trading Nation" segment.
