Trader consensus on Polymarket reflects expectations for S&P 500 single-day swings in Q1 2025, shaped by persistent macroeconomic uncertainty including Federal Reserve rate cut timing and sticky inflation readings. Recent daily moves have stayed within 1.5-2% bounds, with the index up modestly year-to-date amid resilient labor market data from January nonfarm payrolls (adding 353,000 jobs) and cooling CPI at 3.0% for February. Elevated volatility risks stem from upcoming March 19 FOMC meeting, where markets price a 75% chance of a 25 basis point cut per Fed funds futures, alongside Q1 earnings season kickoff. Historical Q1 precedents average max gains near 2%, but election-related sentiment and Treasury yield fluctuations (10-year at 4.2%) could amplify extremes.

The percentage change in the S&P 500 Index (SPX) on a given trading day will be calculated by comparing the official closing price for the S&P 500 Index (SPX) on that day to the official closing price for the S&P 500 Index (SPX) on the previous trading day, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. The previous day’s closing price will be subtracted from the current day’s closing price, and then that difference will be divided by the previous day’s closing price. If the daily percentage change is negative, it will be considered a loss of that percentage in absolute terms.
Daily percentage changes will be rounded to two decimal places away from zero (e.g. a daily percentage gain of 1.995% would be considered 2.00%, and a daily percentage gain of 1.993% would be considered 1.99%)
If any relevant trading day 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 a relevant trading day (for example, due to a trading halt into the close, system issue, or other disruption), this market will use the most recent official price published by the specified resolution source as the effective closing price.
The resolution source for this market will be the Wall Street Journal, specifically the daily CLOSE prices for the S&P 500 Index (SPX) published on the S&P 500 Index (SPX) historical prices page (https://www.wsj.com/market-data/quotes/index/SPX/historical-prices).
