The S&P 500 closed near 7,677 on August 25, 2026, supported by strong first-half earnings growth exceeding 20% year-over-year, driven largely by AI-related capital expenditures from hyperscalers. Elevated inflation remains a key constraint, with July CPI at 3.36% year-over-year and core measures near 2.5%, prompting the Federal Reserve to hold the funds rate at 3.5-3.75% amid risks of further hikes. Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have added volatility through energy prices, while labor market data show unemployment steady near 4.1%. Traders are watching the August 26 PCE release and September FOMC communications for signals on monetary policy, alongside ongoing Q3 earnings that could influence near-term index levels and implied probabilities across resolution thresholds.

Only prices achieved during the regular trading hours of the primary exchange on which the listed security trades (typically 9:30 AM – 4:00 PM ET) will be considered. Prices occurring during pre-market or after-hours trading will not qualify.
Prices will be used exactly as published by Pyth, without rounding.
In the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, or similar corporate action affecting the listed company during the listed time frame, this market will resolve based on split-adjusted prices as displayed on Pyth.
The target price will be adjusted proportionally to reflect any stock splits. Resolution will be based on the historical price data as shown on Pyth after any adjustments have been applied.
The resolution source for this market is Pyth — specifically, the S&P 500 (SPY) "High" and "Low" prices available at https://pythdata.app/explore/Equity.US.SPY%2FUSD, with the chart settings configured for 1-minute candles.
Historical 1-minute candles may be accessed by appending a Unix timestamp (seconds) to the Pyth chart URL using the "t=" parameter. Any timestamp within the listed market time frame may be used to view the relevant candle data (e.g., https://pythdata.app/explore/Equity.US.SPY%2FUSD?t=1773432000)
If the relevant Pyth data is unavailable due to a system outage, data failure, or other technical disruption that prevents verification of the required 1-minute candle data, the official daily high/low price published by the primary exchange on which the listed security trades will be used to determine whether the listed price was reached during the applicable trading session.
