Russell 2000 futures hit 13-session low.

Bob Iaccino analyzes the recent performance of June Russell 2000 futures, noting its sharpest single-day percentage decline in 13 sessions as it led major U.S. indexes lower. The discussion covers the upcoming 2026 Russell reconstitution, which marks the implementation of FTSE Russell's new semi-annual framework. With nearly 40% of Russell 2000 companies carrying floating rate debt, the lagged effects of the Fed's late 2025 interest rate cuts are beginning to optimize small-cap balance sheets. This lower borrowing cost tailwind, alongside key legislative updates, positions the index for potential summer earnings expansion despite the session's risk-off decline.
