About the s&p 500 price
The S&P 500 tracks 500 of the largest US companies, weighted by market value, and is the most widely used benchmark for US stocks. It is a price index: dividends are not included in its level. The headline level is published only when two market feeds agree (Yahoo Finance and CNBC, with Google Finance as a tie-breaker). History is the daily close.
What moves the S&P 500
Company earnings, interest rates and the outlook for the US economy. Because it is weighted by market value, the largest technology companies have an outsized effect on its daily moves.
