Russell 2000 Index Erases 9% Post-Election Spike; Dow Down 1% Faces Longest Losing Streak Since 1974

The Russell 2000 index, which tracks small-cap stocks, has completely erased its gains following the recent U.S. presidential election. Initially, the index experienced a 9% spike post-election but has since declined by 1%. This downturn marks a notable shift in market sentiment, as the index has now reverted to pre-election levels. Additionally, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has faced its longest losing streak since 1974, having fallen for 11 consecutive days, although it retains a modest gain of 105 points. If the Dow declines again, it will set a new record for consecutive losses.
