Here’s a sign the bullish small-cap stock trade is getting crowded
Small-cap stocks are kicking tail, taking names and generally looking good on the charts, says one of Wall Street’s most closely followed technical analysts. “Small-cap everything looks better than large‐cap, with the exception of technology,” wrote Jeff deGraaf, chairman of Renaissance Macro, in a Thursday note, a day after the small-cap benchmark Russell 2000 index (^RUT) logged its 23rd record close of 2018, leaving it up 11.2% in the year to date. The recent outperformance by small-cap stocks has been attributed in part to trade-war worries, with analysts emphasizing that smaller, domestic-focused companies that are less dependent on exports would be better suited to weather any damage.
