The Russell 2000 index has experienced its best month since 2023, with the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) rising 11.7% in April. Historically, after similar 10%+ monthly rallies, the index has averaged a 17.6% gain over the following year. The current rally follows a correction and is influenced by changes in oil prices and Federal Reserve rate expectations. Analysts suggest that while initial gains may not be sustained, the outlook for small caps remains positive in the medium to long term, with potential targets set higher.
