In post-election years since 1950, early June strength has
been notably stronger for NASDAQ and Russell 2000 while DJIA and S&P 500
have typically struggled. 2025 June gains so far of 3.8% for Russell 2000 ($IWM)
and 2.5% for NASDAQ ($QQQ) sets up a typical brisk, mid-month drop followed by
a month-end rally led by technology and small caps.
