Small caps are conspicuously absent from Wall Street's bull market party. The S & P 500 confirmed Friday that a new bull market has begun, breaking both its intraday and closing record high from January 2022. Year to date thus far, the S & P 500 is up more than 1%, while the Dow has climbed 0.5%. "We think it's when the Fed cuts rates not if; this boosts small more than large," he wrote in a Monday note. Not everyone on Wall Street is as optimistic that Fed rate cuts will be an outsized catalyst for small caps.
