Market Dynamics Shift Towards Small Caps
Recent market dynamics indicate a potential shift away from the dominance of big tech, particularly the Magnificent Seven, towards small-cap stocks. For the first time in a long while, smaller stocks have begun to outperform mega caps significantly. This shift coincided with cooler-than-expected inflation numbers, which generally benefit small-cap companies due to their higher sensitivity to interest rates. The historical disparity in valuations between small and large-cap stocks suggests the long-awaited convergence may finally be underway, with small-cap funds showing noteworthy gains.
