Crude Oil Rises 1%; US Jobless Claims Increase To 221,000

<p>The Russell 2000 Index, which tracks US small-cap companies, rose about 6% to near-record highs and recorded the largest single-day gain in two years. The astounding surge came in the wake of Donald Trump&#39;s victory in the presidential election.<br />
Analysts expect Trump&#39;s victory to lead to faster economic growth and more market-friendly policies. This is because Trump supports lower corporate tax rates, deregulation and other policies that favor domestic growth, all of which would provide more stimulus to the U.S. economy and benefit riskier assets. The anticipation of greater tariff barriers and a step to move manufacturing back home will drive small-cap stocks higher (read: <a href="https://www.zacks.com/stock/news/2365355/etfs-set-to-soar-on-trumps-presidential-victory" target="_blank">ETFs Set to Soar on Trump&#39;s Presidential Victory</a>).<br />
In order to tap this trend, investors should consider small-cap ETFs for diversified exposure across several sectors. We have highlighted five funds that have a Zacks ETF Rank #2 (Buy) each, suggesting their outperformance in the coming weeks. These are <strong>iShares Core S&amp;P Small-Cap ETF</strong> IJR, <strong>iShares Russell 2000 ETF</strong> IWM, <strong>Vanguard Small-Cap ETF</strong> VB, <strong>Schwab U.S. Small-Cap ETF</strong> SCHA and <strong>SPDR Portfolio S&amp;P 600 Small Cap ETF</strong> SPSM.</p>
<h3>Corporate Tax Cuts</h3>
<p>Trump recently proposed reducing the statutory corporate income tax rate from 21% to 15%. He also promised to extend tax cuts passed during his first term &mdash; set to expire at the end of next year. With reduced tax expenses, profits for smaller companies will grow.</p>
<h3>Deregulation</h3>
<p>Trump&#39;s administration is focused on deregulating many industries like energy and finance aiming to reduce the compliance costs, which businesses face. For small-cap companies, which often lack the financial resources of larger firms to manage regulatory compliance, reduced regulations mean lower operational costs. This shift will allow small-cap businesses to operate with increased profitability.</p>
<h2>Protectionist Stance</h2>
<p>Trump&#39;s proposed tariffs against major U.S. trading partners would boost the greenback. A strong dollar provides an edge to domestic-focused companies as small caps do not have much exposure to the international market. As such, Trump&#39;s protectionist stance will benefit domestic producers, as higher import tariffs raise costs for foreign competitors.</p>
<h3>More Rate Cuts In The Cards</h3>
<p>After initiating a 50-bps rate cut in September, the Fed is expected to cut interest rates further this year. As the pint-sized companies have a higher debt burden (mostly at floating rates), lower rates lead to reduced borrowing costs, helping small businesses expand their operations easily and resulting in increased profitability. This, in turn, stimulates economic growth. As small-cap companies are more domestically tied, these are poised to outperform when the economy improves.</p>
<h3>Geopolitics</h3>
<p>Small-cap stocks are considered safer and better plays if political issues or economic turmoil creep into the picture. Escalating tensions in the Middle East and the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war are driving the appeal for small-cap stocks.</p>
<h3>ETFs Set To Explode</h3>
<p><strong>iShares Core S&amp;P Small-Cap ETF (ARCA:IJR)&nbsp;</strong><br />
iShares Core S&amp;P Small-Cap ETF offers exposure to U.S. small-cap stocks and follows the S&amp;P SmallCap 600 Index. iShares Core S&amp;P Small-Cap ETF holds 662 stocks in its basket, with none accounting for more than 0.8% of the assets. Financials, industrials, consumer discretionary and information technology are the top four sectors with double-digit exposure each.&nbsp;<br />
