💡 The Russell 2000 index is outperforming the broader market ahead of SpaceX's highly anticipated IPO.

The Russell 2000 index is currently leading the market upside, with the $IWM outperforming the broader market. This comes as AI stocks continue to rally, with $NVDA and $ADBE both up over 5% in recent trading.

AI Stocks Rally

The recent rally in AI stocks is largely driven by the growing adoption of artificial intelligence in various industries. $NVDA, a leader in the AI chip space, has seen its revenue surge in recent quarters. The company's GPU sales have been particularly strong, driven by the increasing demand for AI computing power.

SpaceX IPO

The highly anticipated IPO of SpaceX is set to take place in the coming weeks. The company, which is led by Elon Musk, is expected to raise billions of dollars in the offering.
