Russell 2000 Heads for Record as Wall Street Pins Hope on Rate Cuts

The Russell 2000, which is made up of the the smallest 2,000 stocks on the market, is on track for its first record close since Oct. 27. If it manages to close above 2520.44, this would be its 7th record close of 2025.

That’s nothing compared to its peer, the S&P 500, which encompasses larger stocks and has already marked 36 record closes this year.
