The S&P 500 closed near record highs around 7,786–7,799 in mid-August 2026 after a 0.65% advance to fresh peaks on August 13, supported by tame producer price inflation that reinforced trader expectations for steady Federal Reserve policy and no September rate hike. Year-to-date gains stand near 14%, driven by robust technology and AI-related earnings alongside declining oil prices, though weaker-than-expected retail sales data released August 14 prompted a modest 0.17% pullback amid lingering consumer concerns. With the VIX at subdued levels, upcoming catalysts this week—including the Empire State Manufacturing Survey, housing starts, and import prices—will likely shape near-term implied probabilities, as markets weigh continued earnings momentum against any signs of softening demand.

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.
