**Escalating Middle East tensions drove oil prices above $100 per barrel in early September 2026, pressuring the S&P 500 lower during the week of September 7 as Brent crude briefly exceeded that threshold for the first time since July.** The index closed the period around 7,636 after declining roughly 1.1% for the week, with recent sessions showing drops of 0.5–0.6% amid higher energy costs that stoked inflation worries and boosted expectations for a potential Federal Reserve rate hike at the September 15–16 FOMC meeting. Treasury yields climbed, with the 10-year note reaching its highest levels since late 2023, while sector moves included energy gains offset by sharp health-care declines tied to clinical trial misses and softer software performance linked to AI disruption concerns. The benchmark remained up about 11.5–12% year-to-date and roughly 2% below its August 13 record close near 7,799, with upcoming inflation releases providing the next key data points for traders assessing near-term direction.

Only prices achieved during the regular trading hours of the primary exchange on which the listed security trades (typically 9:30 AM – 4:00 PM ET) will be considered. Prices occurring during pre-market or after-hours trading will not qualify.
Prices will be used exactly as published by Pyth, without rounding.
In the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, or similar corporate action affecting the listed company during the listed time frame, this market will resolve based on split-adjusted prices as displayed on Pyth.
The target price will be adjusted proportionally to reflect any stock splits. Resolution will be based on the historical price data as shown on Pyth after any adjustments have been applied.
The resolution source for this market is Pyth — specifically, the S&P 500 (SPY) "High" and "Low" prices available at https://pythdata.app/explore/Equity.US.SPY%2FUSD, with the chart settings configured for 1-minute candles.
Historical 1-minute candles may be accessed by appending a Unix timestamp (seconds) to the Pyth chart URL using the "t=" parameter. Any timestamp within the listed market time frame may be used to view the relevant candle data (e.g., https://pythdata.app/explore/Equity.US.SPY%2FUSD?t=1773432000)
If the relevant Pyth data is unavailable due to a system outage, data failure, or other technical disruption that prevents verification of the required 1-minute candle data, the official daily high/low price published by the primary exchange on which the listed security trades will be used to determine whether the listed price was reached during the applicable trading session.
