The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on the provided table, the Health Care<\/strong> sector contributed the largest daily increase to the SPX index at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explanation:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To determine which sector had the greatest positive impact on the S&P 500 (SPX) index, the most important column to analyze is “Indx Pt,” which represents the Index Point contribution of each sector. This value calculates the exact number of points a sector has added to or subtracted from the index’s total change, factoring in both the sector’s percentage change and its overall weight within the index.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While several sectors show a higher percentage gain (“%Chg”), such as Utilities (+1.10%) and Energy (+1.04%), their smaller index weights limit their total influence. The Health Care sector, despite having a more moderate gain of +0.65%, made the most significant positive contribution. According to the table, Health Care added +3.84 points<\/strong> to the SPX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This contribution is visibly the largest positive figure in the “Indx Pt” column. The next closest positive contributors were the Financials sector at +3.24 points and the Consumer Discretionary sector at +3.23 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conversely, the table also illustrates how a large sector can have a negative impact. The Information Technology sector, which has the largest weight at 28.52%, was down -0.42% for the day. This resulted in it being the largest detractor, pulling the index down by -5.45 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, the net change in the SPX index is a sum of these individual positive and negative contributions. At the time this data was captured, the +3.84 point contribution from the Health Care sector was the single largest positive force pushing the index higher<\/p>\n\n\n\n
