US500 is a price that follows US 500, a stock index made of the 500 largest companies listed in the US. It is quoted in US dollars as index points.
Each broker quotes its own bid and ask from its own liquidity providers, so prices can differ a little from broker to broker. The prices here are indicative bid quotes. Some brokers quote the cash index and others the futures, which trade at a slightly different level. Spreads also widen around big news and when the market opens.
Most brokers quote US500 nearly 24 hours a day on weekdays, with a short daily break, because the price follows the index futures. It moves most while its home stock market is open.
Contract sizes for US500 differ from broker to broker. Your broker's contract specification shows how much one lot is and what a one point move is worth per lot, so check it before you size a trade.
