US Small Caps Lag Behind in 2024 Bull Market, Hindered by High Interest Rates and Dominance of Larger Companies =============== #18e7d99b ver:0.97 US small caps have lagged behind in the 2024 bull market due to high interest rates and the dominance of larger companies. Small-cap stocks have only seen a modest gain of 0.4% compared to the S&P 500's 17% rise. The impact of high interest rates on borrowing and the influence of ETFs, which primarily consist of large-cap stocks, are major factors. However, a potential interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve in September could boost small caps. #SmallCaps #BullMarket #InterestRates #ETFs... #newstr #UsSmallCaps #BullMarket #InterestRates #FederalReserve #ExchangetradedFunds #LargerCompanies #TechnologySector https://here.news/story/18e7d99b?ver=0.97
