Small Caps and Economic Challenges

This chapter explores the effects of rising bond yields on small-cap stocks, particularly the Russell 2000, and outlines the challenges faced by small companies, notably in the biotech sector. It also addresses the need for a stable economic environment to support improvement in small caps and highlights the impact of inflation and tariffs on business decisions. Furthermore, the discussion includes an analysis of significant stock movements from a major investment firm and the current valuation of the healthcare sector.
