Small May Turn Mighty as Strategists See Russell Rally Ahead
(Bloomberg) -- Smaller U.S. stocks could be set for a big run higher into the end of the year, according to Wall Street.A combination of improving economic data, bullish technical signals and a seasonal effect could give a boost to the shares, which have lagged their larger peers for much of the last year, said strategists from Tallbacken Capital Advisors LLC to Saxo Capital Markets Pte.“The technical condition on the Russell 2000/S&P 500 price ratio continues to push higher after several quarters of severe decline,” Tallbacken CEO Michael Purves wrote in a note Monday. “If risk is on into year’s end, we won’t be surprised to see the relative performance continue.”The Russell 2000 Index -- a benchmark for U.S. small caps -- climbed 2.1% Monday to its highest since October 2018, outperforming the broader S&P 500 Index which rose 0.8%. The gauge of smaller companies was about 7% below its all-time high as of 9:50 a.m. in New York Tuesday, while the S&P 500 traded at a fresh record.Improving DataA raft of good economic data last week, from manufacturing to consumer sentiment, may be benefiting the Russell, according to Kay Van-Petersen of Saxo Capital Markets in Singapore. Smaller companies are often seen as closely linked to the domestic economic cycle.The improved performance in the small-cap index could also be coming from hopes of mean reversion versus bigger stocks, or even a short squeeze, Van-Petersen added.Read: Small-Caps Spur Value Trap Warnings Amid Worst Profit Since 2009Evercore ISI technical analyst Rich Ross sees about 10% short-term upside for IWM, an iShares exchange-traded fund that tracks the Russell 2000. The ETF has broken a year-long “stubborn” technical resistance level, with breadth expanding -- a bullish sign -- he wrote Monday.Seasonal MoveMeanwhile, Tallbacken’s Purves noted the median December performance for the Russell 2000 is a 2.5% gain, in data going back to 1979, and that about a quarter of those months saw a return of more than 5%.“Of course, there are plenty of negative Decembers for the Russell 2000, and some can be sharp,” he said. “But if risk is on, there is a good chance for it to continue to gain meaningful ground into the end of the year and perhaps a lift higher in January as well.”(Updates markets in fourth paragraph. An earlier version corrected median Russell 2000 gain in eighth paragraph to 2.5%.)\--With assistance from Divya Balji.To contact the reporter on this story: Joanna Ossinger in Singapore at jossinger@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Christopher Anstey at canstey@bloomberg.net, Cormac Mullen, Ravil ShirodkarFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com©2019 Bloomberg L.P.

Russel 2000 Doesn’t Support S&P 500’s Optimism

As we near the end of October 2019, a very interesting price setup is taking place across many of the US market sectors recently.

A World Searching for a Recession
The US session keyed off with a Trump tweet and yet another defiant message that gave us no indication the respective Xi-Trump camps are anywhere near to forging a deal.
