Fundstrat's Tom Lee has predicted a significant rally in the stock market following the recent Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting. He anticipates that stocks could jump by 4% to 5% in the week after the meeting, with small-cap stocks, particularly the Russell 2000 index ($IWM), leading the charge. Lee has made bold calls, suggesting that the Russell 2000 could rise by 15% or more in August. This optimism is echoed by various market analysts, who are advising investors to 'buy the dip' and prepare for increased volatility in the market. The sentiment reflects a broader expectation of a positive market response post-FOMC, with small caps expected to outperform larger indices.
