The S&P 500 stood at 7,805.36 points at 21:05 GMT on Monday, 12 October 2026, down 0.08% from the previous close. The index is trading close to the top of its recent range.
Recent trading range
Over the past 31 days the index reached a high of 7,840.59 points and a low of 7,585.73 points. The current level sits just below that high, so the index is near the upper end of the band it has occupied over the period. The gap between the high and the low is about 255 points, a measure of how far the index has travelled across the month.
Today’s reading is a snapshot taken at a single moment, and it is the only figure available for the index at that time. The 0.08% decline is a modest move compared with the width of the monthly range.
What the level means
The S&P 500 tracks the share prices of 500 large companies listed in the United States, so its level is widely used as a broad gauge of the American equity market. A reading close to its 31-day high indicates that the market has recovered most of the ground it had covered over the period, even though the index eased slightly on the day.
