This market will resolve to “Yes” if the official S&P 500 index (SPX) closing value published by S&P Dow Jones Indices for the trading session ending December 31, 2026 - 16:00 ET is strictly greater than 8,000.00, and that published close occurred after the creation of this market.

Otherwise this market will resolve to “No.” A published close of exactly 8,000.00 or below is a “No.”

For the purposes of this market:

• The resolution source is the official S&P 500 (SPX) closing value as published by S&P Dow Jones Indices for the relevant session; futures, ETFs (e.g., SPY), intraday prints, or third‑party price feeds do not qualify.

• If U.S. markets are unexpectedly closed on December 31, 2026, the value used for resolution will be the last official SPX close published by S&P Dow Jones Indices prior to December 31, 2026.

• A trading halt or an early market close on December 31, 2026 still counts as that session’s official close if S&P publishes it as the session close.

• If S&P Dow Jones Indices issues a post‑publication correction to the official close within 24 hours of the initial publication, the corrected value supersedes the initial print and will be used for resolution.

• If no official SPX close is published by S&P for the session and no prior official close exists to use as a fallback, the market may be cancelled (draw).
