The second quarter was a bumpy ride for the U.S. stock market. The rally that began late last year continued through April, was upended in May by renewed concerns about the economy and a more protracted trade war, then was revived in June by the Fed’s clear pivot toward monetary easing.

The Russell 2500™ Value Index (R25IV) returned 1.89%, though only six of 11 economic sectors ended the quarter higher. Returns were strongest for large cap stocks, but otherwise underlying market dynamics lacked discernable themes.
