What counted as right

Status
resolved
Settled on
2025-09-30

S&P 500 closing level on 2025-09-30 is higher than its closing level on 2025-08-29 (last trading day of August 2025), i.e. a positive price return for the month of September 2025

Criterion is a positive September price return: Sep-30-2025 close (6,688.46) > Aug-29-2025 close (6,460.26), +3.53%. Multiple independent credible sources agree the month was positive; no conflicting evidence. Closing levels should be re-confirmed against official S&P Dow Jones Indices / FRED data at scoring time, but the direction (positive) is unambiguous.
