The S&P 500 is a market value weighted index and one of the common benchmarks for the U.S. stock market; other S&P indexes include small cap companies with market capitalization between $300 million and $2 billion, and an index of mid cap companies.
1 If the S&P was trading at 1178, this figure is not a dollar figure. It is a comparison to a date in the early 1940s when the index was established and assigned an arbitrary value of 10.  In other words, if the S&P was trading at 1178, the S&P stocks are worth 117.8 times what they were worth 60-odd years ago.
