Russell 2000: Is Heavy Call Buying A Sign of Rate Cuts?

Last week, the market ended on a high note, and continued to ride some of that momentum during yesterday’s session.

With some of the market’s biggest names reporting earnings this week, and the Fed Decision being revealed tomorrow, a lot of traders are looking for signs of what to expect when Chairman Powell speaks.

Scott Bauer believes one particular index that could be a strong indicator is the Russell 2000—which appears to be perking up, and setting new records in recent weeks.

In a recent Fox Business appearance, Scott Bauer highlighted the major buying activity tied to the Russell 2000, and explained why he believes it could be a huge sign of rate cut expectations in the market.

  • How the Russell 2000 has seen the most call buying out of major market indices
  • Why heavy buying in the Russell 2000 is a positive sign for November rate cuts
  • What buying activity could also say about December rate cuts (whose projections are well above 90%)
