Stock Market Update

[BRIEFING.COM] The major indices have mostly extended their losses over the last half hour, except the Russell 2000, which sports a 0.3% gain.

The small cap index has benefitted from some rotational activity out of mega caps and other areas of the market that have outperformed this year. This has been the case all month, leading the Russell 2000 to register a 10.7% gain since October. 

That's not to say that the "rest" of the market has not performed well this month. The three major indices are sitting on gains ranging from 4.8% to 7.3% since the month started.
