Russell 2000 and smaller US companies
The Russell 2000 measures the US small-cap equity segment. It belongs to the Russell index family and uses market-capitalisation weights adjusted for shares available to investors. Constituents follow the administrator’s rules rather than remaining a permanent list of two thousand businesses.
Smaller companies can respond differently to credit conditions, borrowing costs and domestic demand than large companies. This helps explain why the benchmark can diverge from the S&P 500.

Understanding the RUT level
The displayed ^RUT series is a price index in points. It is neither an ETF nor a futures contract and does not include reinvested dividends. Point levels cannot be compared as though they were individual share prices. A calculated index has no directly traded contract volume.
Charts retain observed historical values and available candles. The quote timestamp shows the observation’s age; an open US session does not itself guarantee realtime data. The last available value remains visible outside that session.
Comparing company sizes
Use the same period and percentage changes in asset comparison. The Nasdaq 100 has a different sector mix, while Russell adds a company-size perspective. Different performance does not necessarily describe the entire US stock market.
