The S&P 500 closed at 7,674 on August 21, 2026, down 1.43% for the week after pulling back from its August 13 record of 7,799, with year-to-date gains near 12%. Strong 2026 corporate earnings—showing double-digit EPS growth—have supported valuations amid elevated Treasury yields driven by persistent inflation above the Fed’s 2% target, energy price shocks, and tariff effects. A softening labor market, highlighted by the weak July jobs report, has tempered expectations for near-term Fed rate hikes under Chair Warsh, though markets still price in a higher-for-longer policy stance. Traders are monitoring upcoming inflation prints, any remaining August data releases, and equity sector rotation for clues on whether the index can retest highs or consolidate before month-end resolution.

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" 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 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.
