S&P 500 levels around the week of August 17, 2026, reflected cooling inflation data that tempered near-term Federal Reserve rate-hike expectations, supporting a third consecutive weekly gain and fresh record closes near 7,799 earlier in the month. The index traded modestly higher overall amid softer producer and consumer price readings, while oil price swings and elevated Treasury yields introduced volatility; the Fed held the funds rate at 3.50-3.75% with notable dissents. Upcoming catalysts include FOMC minutes, August PMI releases, retail earnings, and Chair communications at Jackson Hole, all of which could shift trader positioning on monetary policy paths and equity momentum.

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.
