Trader consensus on Polymarket prices a leading 37.5% implied probability for the S&P 500 closing below $6,000 by year-end 2026, reflecting heightened risks from Middle East tensions—including U.S.-Iran ceasefire talks—and sustained oil price pressure that could crimp corporate earnings growth amid sticky inflation. With the index at approximately 6,817 after peaking at 7,002 in late January, recent March CPI rising 1.1% not seasonally adjusted and unemployment steady at 4.3% despite 178,000 jobs added have diminished expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts, aligning with CME FedWatch showing limited easing through 2026. JPMorgan's revised 7,200 target underscores vulnerability to a 6,000 support level, while secondary odds favor $7,000-$7,500 (23.5%) per Reuters polls averaging 7,500; watch April CPI release on May 12 and upcoming FOMC for resolution catalysts.

If the reported value falls exactly between two brackets, then this market will resolve to the higher range bracket.
If the final trading day of the month 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 that session (for example, due to a trading halt into the close, system issue, delisting, or other disruption), the market will use the last valid on-exchange trade price of the regular session as the effective closing price.
The resolution source for this market is Yahoo Finance, specifically the S&P 500 (SPX) "Close" prices available at https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/%5EGSPC/history, published under "Historical Prices."
