Large speculators remain net bullish on small caps, with Russell 2000 futures positioning still positive. This indicates institutional conviction in the small-cap segment. |

Treasury yields dropped significantly after the CPI print (10-year down ~15bps this week). The Russell 2000 (Small Caps) outperformed (+1.2%), and sectors like Utilities, Real Estate, and Materials led the market. Lower yields reduce borrowing costs and increase the attractiveness of dividend-yielding sectors. Small caps (IWM) are disproportionately sensitive to rates due to floating-rate debt; as yields fall, their balance sheet pressure eases, prompting capital rotation out of expensive tech and into these value/cyclical pockets. LONG exposure to rate-sensitive sectors and small caps as the "yield relief" trade gains traction. Re-acceleration of inflation causing yields to spike back up. |

Scott Bessent
Treasury Secretary

Bessent states, "If you look at the broad indices, whether it's the equal weighted S&P... or the small cap indices, they're doing fantastic... Regional banks are doing well." He explicitly uses the performance of Regional Banks and Equal Weight indices (Main Street proxies) as his primary indicator that the "real economy" is taking off, contrasting them with the volatility of Big Tech. If the Treasury Secretary views these as the leaders of the "2026 banquet," policy will likely support their continued rotation. LONG US Domestic Cyclicals and Regional Banks. A resurgence of inflation or a bond market revolt (yields spiking) would disproportionately hurt regional banks and small caps. |
