US500 is a cash-settled index CFD tracking the S&P 500, America's benchmark large-cap equity index comprised of 500 of the most established U.S. companies. With average daily volumes exceeding $2 trillion in the underlying equities, the S&P 500 is the world's most widely traded and followed stock index, serving as the primary barometer of U.S. economic health and investor sentiment. Trading US500 offers exposure to diversified sectors including technology, healthcare, financials, and consumer goods without holding individual stocks.
US500 prices are primarily driven by U.S. macroeconomic data including employment reports, GDP growth, inflation metrics, and Federal Reserve interest rate decisions. Corporate earnings announcements, geopolitical events, and shifts in market sentiment also exert significant influence on index direction. Technical factors such as support and resistance levels, moving averages, and institutional order flow play an important role in intraday and swing trading dynamics.
At GCC Brokers, US500 is available for trading with automatic execution and no manual intervention. Orders are executed automatically, without requotes. Trade US500 on both our Zero account with lower spreads and our Standard account, with flexible leverage and automatic execution.
At GCC Brokers, US500 trades nearly 24 hours a day, Monday through Friday, with a short daily break; the exact hours, in server time, are in the specifications above. The most active period is U.S. equity market hours (09:30 to 16:00 New York time). Major U.S. holidays may result in shortened or closed sessions.
Spreads are variable and depend on market conditions and your account. Standard and Pro have no commission, and Pro has tighter spreads; Zero has raw spreads plus a commission. The live spread is shown on this page. Positions held overnight are charged or credited a swap, shown in the specifications.
US500 is highly sensitive to U.S. Federal Reserve monetary policy, inflation data, employment reports, and quarterly corporate earnings releases. Broader market sentiment, risk appetite, bond yields, and the U.S. dollar strength also significantly influence index movement. Geopolitical tensions and unexpected economic shocks can trigger rapid repricing across the entire index.
At GCC Brokers, you can trade US500 in both directions—long (bullish) and short (bearish). This flexibility allows you to profit from rising markets or hedge equity exposure during downturns. Short positions incur overnight financing costs, which are displayed in your account.
US500 is liquid and used for both day trading and longer-term trading. Intraday traders follow its regular volatility; longer-term traders use it for exposure to US large-cap equities without holding individual stocks.
