The Russell 2000 index, which tracks small-cap companies in the U.S., soared to a record high of 2,458.9913, driven by optimism about tax cuts from a potential second Trump administration and anticipated lower borrowing costs. The index has seen a substantial gain of over 8% since the U.S. presidential election on November 5, helped by expectations that a Republican Congress can fulfill promises of tax reductions and deregulation.
