BREAKING: US NFIB Business Optimism Index much higher than expected🗽

The index is one of the key indicators of the U.S. economy, as small businesses in the United States employ nearly 50% of all workers. The improvement in sentiment largely stems from interest rate cuts and expectations of lower rates in 2026. Futures on the Russell 2000 (US2000) which groups smaller U.S. companies (though still too large to report to the NFIB) are trading near their historical highs.
