About US Small Cap 2000 (Russell 2000)
The US Small Cap 2000, commonly known as the Russell 2000, measures the performance of smaller companies in the US equity market. US2000 represents this index for CFD trading. Its level is quoted in index points rather than as a share price, while the supplied contract size is 1 × index, expressed in USD per point.
The Russell 2000 offers a different perspective from indices focused on large US companies. Smaller businesses often have greater exposure to domestic demand and can be more sensitive to borrowing costs and access to finance. Its broad mix of sectors means movements reflect both wider economic conditions and changing expectations for smaller-company earnings.
On Xellion's MT5 platform, US2000 is traded as a CFD, allowing a position to be long or short without owning the underlying shares. Trading runs nearly 24 hours, Monday to Friday, with a daily break, and is most active during US market hours. Leverage magnifies both gains and losses, while execution conditions can vary.

US2000 questions
How does the Russell 2000 differ from large-cap US indices?
The Russell 2000 focuses on smaller US companies rather than large businesses. This gives it a different sector and company profile, with potentially greater sensitivity to domestic economic conditions, financing availability and changes in borrowing costs.
What does the US2000 contract size mean?
The supplied contract size is 1 × index, expressed in USD per point. This links changes in the index level to a dollar-denominated contract value. A position's profit or loss depends on its size, direction and the index-point movement.
When can US2000 be traded on Xellion?
US2000 trading hours are nearly 24 hours, Monday to Friday, with a daily break. Activity is generally greatest during US market hours, when the underlying shares trade. Holiday schedules and session arrangements can affect trading availability.
Does trading US2000 mean owning Russell 2000 shares?
No. US2000 on Xellion's MT5 platform is a CFD linked to the index, not ownership of its constituent shares. A position can be long or short, with gains or losses determined by price movements, position size and applicable trading costs.
