Strong corporate earnings momentum, with Wall Street projecting 23-25% S&P 500 EPS growth for full-year 2026 fueled by AI capital spending, underpins trader sentiment favoring an end-2026 close above 8,000 at 43.5% implied probability. Recent July CPI data showing headline inflation at 3.4% year-over-year and core at 2.5% have tempered near-term rate-hike expectations, supporting the index near its record 7,799 close on August 13 amid a 3.5-3.75% Fed funds target. This environment, combined with resilient U.S. growth and broadening participation beyond mega-cap tech, positions the 7,500-8,000 range at 23% as the next most likely outcome. Key near-term catalysts include the September FOMC meeting and upcoming inflation releases that could further shape monetary policy expectations.

If the reported value falls exactly between two brackets, then this market will resolve to the higher range bracket.
If the final trading day of the month is shortened (for example, due to a market-holiday schedule), the official closing price published for that shortened session will still be used for resolution.
If no official closing price is published for that session (for example, due to a trading halt into the close, system issue, delisting, or other disruption), the market will use the last valid on-exchange trade price of the regular session as the effective closing price.
