Is the stock market open on weekends?
No. The U.S. stock market (NYSE and Nasdaq) is closed every Saturday and Sunday and reopens Monday at 9:30 AM ET. But the price never really stops moving, and WeekendIndex shows it to you 24/7.
Status: Exchange open (US Eastern). Yet the S&P 500 is trading at 7,672.35 on the 24/7 market right now.

Traditional exchanges close on weekends, so the official S&P 500 index value is frozen until Monday. WeekendIndex instead tracks 24/7 markets that price the same indices and commodities around the clock, so you get a live, continuously-updating number even on Saturday and Sunday, overnight, and on holidays. It is the implied market price, not the official index value.
