La شاخص US Russ 2000 (a proxy for the Russell 2000 futures) has indeed inched lower and staged a major bearish breakdown below a four-month “Symmetrical Triangle” range configuration in place since the June 2022 low of 1,1640 on the week of 9 October 2023.

Its 2023 year-to-date return as of the close of yesterday (24 October) US session stands at a loss of -4.64%, which clearly has underperformed the other US benchmark stock indices; Nasdaq 100 (+34.79%), S&P 500 (+10.63%), Dow Jones Industrial Average (-0.02%) over a similar period.

The small-cap Russell 2000 is considered a better proxy of the US economy as its constituents derive close to 80% of its revenue from the US and approximately 40% of the Russell 2000 Index is unprofitable. Hence, these “zombie companies “with lower credit ratings are likely dependent on a relatively high level of debt to maintain their business operations.

The recent significant surge in the longer-term US Treasury yields where the US 10-year Treasury yield has probed the psychological 5% level earlier this week with no clear signs of a bullish exhaustion condition yet to be seen.

Watch out for a potential upward spike in US high-yield corporate bonds’ credit spread

The lagging high-yield corporation bonds credit spread as indicated by the ICE BofA US High Yield Index option-adjusted spread has finally ticked higher in the past week to a five-month high of 4.51 as of Monday, 23 October due to a persistent upward movement of the US 10-year Treasury yield Also, the liquidity condition in the US has started to get tighter as seen by the recent movement of the Chicago Fed National Financial Conditions Leverage Sub Index that has shaped a “higher low” in (see figure 1).

These key macro-observations suggest a higher cost of funding environment for lower credit rating US corporations that in turn lead to lower earnings growth and guidance that is likely to put further downside pressure on the Russell 2000 in Q4 which in turn increases the odds of a recession in the US in early 2024.

Since its bearish breakdown from its major “Symmetrical Triangle” in early October 2023, the price actions of the US Russ 2000 Index are still evolving within a medium-term downtrend phase.

In addition, the bearish momentum remains intact as depicted by the 4-hour RSI momentum indicator that has just staged a bearish reaction off its parallel resistance at the 40 level and has not reached its oversold region (below 30).

Watch the 1,715 key short-term pivotal resistance (also the downward-slopping 20-day moving average) for a potential extension of the current impulsive down move sequence towards the next intermediate supports at 1,640 and 1,600.

However, a clearance above 1,715 negates the bearish tone to see the next intermediate resistance coming in at 1,790 (also, the 50-day moving average).
