S&P 500 Daily Close Time and Price
S&P 500's daily close follows the relevant market session and provider previous close reference.
Traditional assets can be affected by exchange hours, weekends, holidays, and after-hours movement. DailyClose shows current price, provider previous close, and session context while keeping methodology caveats visible.
S&P 500 is currently trading at $740.92. The previous daily close shown on this page is $748.17. The current price is below the previous daily close by more than 0.1%. The session state is determined by comparing the current price to the provider previous close. A bullish session indicates the price is above the previous close, a bearish session indicates it is below, and a flat session indicates minimal change within 0.1%. See our methodology for the current data-provider caveat.

S&P 500 market close meaning
For non-crypto assets, the daily close usually refers to a completed market session or provider previous close field. The exact definition can vary by exchange, instrument, and data convention.
Timezone and session caveats
US equities commonly use Eastern Time market hours, while commodities, Treasury proxies, volatility indexes, and currency proxies can follow different session or settlement conventions.
Weekends, holidays, and after-hours prices
Traditional markets can close on weekends and holidays. After-hours moves may not count as the regular-session close, so DailyClose treats provider previous close values as reference data.
