Small caps recovery

Troy Bombardia
2020-10-14
There has been an impressive recovery in small-cap stocks in uptrends. Semiconductor stocks have rallied more than 1% for several days in a row. Economic surprises have tapered off.

One of the biggest concerns over the past few months has been the lack of broad participation in small caps. That is starting to change as the Russell 2000 approaches its all-time high.

When the % of Russell 2000 members in a long term uptrend cycles from less than 20% (typically in a stock market crash) to >58% over the past 6 months, the Russell 2000 usually pushed higher over the next year:

Since these 3 historical cases all occurred post-GFC, the S&P 500 pushed higher over the next year as well:

Tech stocks continue to surge. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index is making new all-time highs and rallied more than 1% for 4 days in a row:

When this happened in the past, the Semiconductor Index's returns over the next year were more bearish than random. This is primarily due to the abundance of historical cases in 1999 and 2000:

If we isolate for historical cases that occurred at a 1 year high, the S&P's forward returns over the next year were still more bearish than random:

And lastly, the Citigroup Economic Surprise Index is retreating after the biggest spike in this data series' history. 

When the Citigroup Economic Surprise Index dropped rapidly in the past, the S&P's returns over the next month were slightly more bearish than random:

Gold's returns over the next 6 months were consistently bullish:

And the USD Index usually retreated over the next 3-6 months:

Risk Disclosure: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
