Meet the Unstoppable Vanguard ETF Obliterating the S&P 500 in 2026
Investors have favored domestic companies amid the increasingly uncertain geopolitical environment.
Overview
The U.S. and Iran have been engaged in a geopolitical conflict since the end of February, which has roiled global oil markets and set the stock market on edge. The two countries signed a ceasefire agreement last month, an important first step toward long-term peace, but tensions continue to flare, and the ceasefire unofficially ended this week.
The stock market is still delivering positive returns this year despite periods of volatility, but investors are making a very clear choice about where they park their money. While the benchmark S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) has climbed by 9% so far, the Russell 2000 is sitting on a much bigger gain of 19%.
