Market Indicators and Performance Outlook

Watching market indicators is crucial for investors seeking to understand potential shifts in economic conditions. Small-cap stocks, for example, have recently seen a rebound, driven by lower valuations compared to larger stocks. However, there is uncertainty around their relative performance, as a strong economy typically helps small caps outperform. Currently, the economic growth is stable but not robust enough to signal an imminent small-cap resurgence.
