Small-Cap Stocks Just Had Their Best Half Since 1991
- The Russell 2000, the main US small-cap index, rose about 21% in the first half of 2026 — its best start to a year since 1991 — far outpacing the S&P 500's roughly 7.5%.
- It's a sign the rally is finally broadening beyond a handful of giant tech names.
- Whether it lasts is another question.
