The Russell 2000 futures have surged in the past two trading sessions, up 5% marking its best two days since the 5th of November 2025. This was on the back of a positive CPI report that showed inflation is in line with expectations. The price broke decisively above the 50-day and 200-day moving averages after a prolonged sideways range. This is a very bullish sign for the index.
