Small Cap Stocks Make Statement Breakout

The stock market is trying to recover from its March ‘swoon’.

And one important index is leading the way: The Russell 2000.

It’s ETF (IWM) gapped higher today, breaking out above its 50-day moving average.

This is an excellent sign for the broader market, as the small cap stock index is also a barometer of risk taking. While we aren’t out of the woods, this should help to keep the bears away.
