U.S. stocks continue to power higher despite concerns about inflation, interest rates, government spending, and the war in Iran. Throughout the past year, soaring corporate earnings fueled by the artificial intelligence (AI) boom have been the support the equity market has needed. The Russell 2000 had been leading the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) throughout the first three quarters of the year, but it started losing momentum around August. Small-caps are now trailing large-caps year to date, largely due to the disproportionate negative impact of high yields on smaller companies. Profitable small-caps still look pretty intriguing, and they've got the benefit of cheap valuations to boot. That's why the Avantis U.S. Small Cap Value ETF (NYSEMKT: AVUV) looks really attractive at the moment.
