This market will conclude with a result of "Down" if the official opening price of the S&P 500 Index for S&P 500 (SPX) on March 2 is less than the official closing price of the S&P 500 Index for SPX on the last trading day. Prices may be provided by market makers, not exchanges.
For instance, typically, a market on a Monday would look back to the previous Friday for its latest closing price, unless that Friday was a market holiday, in which case it would reference Thursday or the most recent trading day. Prices may be provided by market makers, not exchanges.
Market Opening Price Analysis
In the event that the two prices are identical, this market will conclude with a 50-50 outcome. Keep in mind that all amounts will be rounded to the nearest cent using conventional rounding methods. Prices may be provided by market makers, not exchanges.
If the SP500 does not experience any trading activity throughout the regular session, the outcome will be evenly split at 50-50. FXEmpire does not provide personalized financial advice.
In the event that either of the pertinent days is abbreviated (such as during a market holiday), the official open and close prices reported by the S&P 500 Index for that abbreviated session will still be utilized for resolution. Prices may also be supplied by market makers, not just exchanges.
Price Comparison Methodology
If the prior trading day lacks an official closing price—perhaps due to a trading halt at market close, a system malfunction, delisting, or other interruptions—the market will adopt the last valid on-exchange trade price from the regular session as the effective closing price. Prices may be provided by market makers, not exchanges.

Conversely, it will resolve to "Down" if the opening price is lower than the closing price from the most recent trading day. For instance, a market on Monday would typically reference the previous Friday’s closing price, unless that Friday was a market holiday, in which case it would refer to Thursday or the next available trading day. If the two prices are identical, this market will resolve 50-50. All amounts will be rounded to the nearest cent using standard rounding practices. If SPX does not trade during the regular session, the market will also resolve 50-50. Should either of the relevant days be shortened (due to a market holiday schedule, for example), the official open/close price published by the S&P 500 Index for that shortened session will still be utilized for resolution. If the previous trading day lacks an official closing price (due to a trading halt at market close, system issues, delisting, or other disruptions), the market will adopt the last valid on-exchange trade price of the regular session as the effective closing price.
