S&P 500 index tracking 500 large-cap US companies across all sectors.
The S&P 500 (SPX500) is the most widely watched equity index in the world and a benchmark for the overall health of the US stock market. It covers 500 large-cap US companies spanning all major sectors, giving it broader diversification than the technology-heavy NASDAQ 100. Fed policy, corporate earnings seasons, and macroeconomic data, particularly employment, CPI, and GDP releases, are the primary drivers. Because of its deep liquidity and global significance, it is the index of choice for traders seeking broad US equity exposure.
