Markets were mixed last week — and not in the way most investors would hope. In this episode of Momentum Mondays, Garrett Cottle and Matt Hightower break down the week’s performance across major indices and spotlight the Russell 2000, which held up better than its large-cap peers. Could small caps be setting the tone for what’s next?
They dive into fresh CPI data, explore the historical role of small caps in recoveries, and offer thoughts on how inflation could shape the path forward. The conversation also touches on the recent pullback in tech and AI, and what that slowdown means for portfolios that may have become too concentrated in growth names.
From behavioral finance to smart diversification, this episode is about staying informed — and staying ready.
