Overview
The S&P 500 index, also called the SPX, is one of the most closely watched stock market benchmarks in the world. The index tracks the share performance of 500 of the biggest and most influential U.S. companies listed on the NYSE and NASDAQ. The SPX Index is weighted by market value, instead of equal weighting, so companies with larger market caps have a bigger influence on the overall index level.
