Small caps lag as bond liquidation pressures stocks

Reported · Written up by our desk · Sectors

CNBC Markets reports that while the S&P 500 has continued to hold up, small caps are underperforming.

The outlet attributes the divergence to rising bond yields and higher crude oil prices, which are coinciding with weakness in the small-cap segment.

CNBC World highlights the same setup, pointing to a broader contrast between the benchmark index’s resilience and the relative drop in smaller stocks.

Traders interviewed by CNBC World see the small-cap damage continuing, though the summaries do not provide specific figures.
