Historical provider snapshot. The original report retained an RTY=F reading of 2,852.40 index points, with a displayed previous-close reference of 2,894.70 and a −1.46% change. The specific delivery month was not established. These are attributed archive fields, not an exchange-verified settlement.

What the saved record does—and does not—identify
Provider symbol RTY=F; a provider futures series, not a named expiry
Recorded quote time 16 September 2026, 15:26 EDT
Collection time 17 September 2026, 01:06 IST (16 September, 19:36 UTC)
Earlier checkpoint 2,900.1000 at 16 September 2026, 00:01 IST
Feed status “open”, as recorded by the provider; not independently reverified
Missing fields Delivery month and authenticated historical trade/settlement record

Keep the two comparisons separate

Using the retained numbers, (2,852.40 ÷ 2,894.70 − 1) × 100 is approximately −1.46%. Comparing 2,852.40 with the separate 2,900.1000 checkpoint gives approximately −1.64%. These calculations check arithmetic only; they do not authenticate either input or show every intervening move.

What CME’s documentation establishes

CME’s E-mini Russell 2000 guide identifies the RTY contract and a $50 multiplier per index point. A 0.10-point tick corresponds to $5 per contract. A quoted index level is therefore not itself a dollar cash price. The definition also cannot supply the missing expiry for this saved provider series.

The earlier zero-valued opening/low fields remain withdrawn under the corrections below. No replacement range, contract month, market driver or new price has been inferred.

Data correction — September 28, 2026: An earlier version displayed an unverified zero as the session low. That low and the resulting complete-range presentation have been withdrawn; no replacement low has been inferred. Other historical provider observations remain attributed archive values, not newly verified exchange prices.

Correction — 7 October 2026: A malformed sentence retained an unverified zero opening value after an earlier range correction. That fragment has been removed; no replacement opening level or session range has been inferred. The other historical provider observations, original publication date and URL are unchanged. This text correction does not independently reverify those historical prices.

Archive clarification — 17 October 2026: The headline and summary now identify the dated archive and disclose the missing contract month. Claims that a contract identity or historical exchange price had been fully verified have been removed. Repetitive market-driver checklists were replaced with the actual evidence limits. The original URL, publication and modification date fields, image assignment and byline are unchanged. This is a correction of the historical report, not a new market update.
