While the large, mega-cap stocks have lead the charge so far this year, there may be a leadership change emerging.
One month certainly does not make a new trend, but small company stocks have been exhibiting a little more strength here recently. Even today, as the video below was recorded, small-cap stocks were positive while large cap stocks were negative.
If small-caps can remain above the resistance (shown in video), that is a very good sign. However, we cannot forget that September is historically very negative for the small cap stocks.
One catalyst that may drive them higher is an interest rate cut from the Federal Reserve. In today's video, we look at a couple of data points that suggest that FOMC may cut rates at their next meeting, which will conclude on September 17th.
