The final trades of the day with CNBC's Melissa Lee and the Fast Money traders.
The iShares Russell 2000 ETF has been stagnant since February 2021, with rising interest rates and falling 2025 earnings estimates adding to investor frustration. Valuations are stretched, with a 12-month P/E ratio at 26.2, significantly above its historical median, making a compelling case for investment weakness. Tight credit spreads, historically low at 2.56%, limit the potential for P/E multiple expansion, suggesting limited upside for the ETF.
Despite the choppy price action in equities, it's too early for bulls to throw in the towel. Deescalating Middle East tensions, tamed inflation, and a washout in the number of new lows suggest the bull market has legs in 2025.
The iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) has dropped into a technical correction after falling by over 11% from its highest level in 2024. It retreated to $214, its lowest level since September last year, lagging behind its top peers like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indices.
The Russell 2000 index is home to approximately 2,000 of the smallest companies listed on U.S. stock exchanges. While the major market indexes like the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) have soared to new highs recently, the Russell still technically hasn't grown because it hasn't closed above its previous record level from 2021.
