What counted as right

Status
resolved
Settled on
2025-09-30

The S&P 500's close on 2025-09-30 is above its close on 2025-08-29 (the last trading day before September), i.e. a positive price return for the calendar month of September 2025.

Criterion met cleanly and unambiguously. The two reference closes were pulled from two independent providers (FRED/S&P Dow Jones Indices and Yahoo Finance ^GSPC) and agree exactly: 6,460.26 -> 6,688.46, +3.53%. 2025-08-29 was indeed the last trading day before September 2025 (2025-09-01 was Labor Day) and 2025-09-30 was the last trading day of the month, so both endpoints named in the criterion are the correct ones. No conflicting evidence found. Outcome value deliberately not assigned (later stage).
