Summary: In this paper we extend results on Fredholmness of singular integral operators with piecewise continuous coefficients in reflexive rearrange\-ment-invariant spaces

$X(\Gamma)$ with nontrivial Boyd indices

$\alpha_X,\beta_X$ ([22]) to the weighted case. Suppose a weight

$w$ belongs to the Muckenhoupt classes

$A_{\frac{1}{\alpha_X}}(\Gamma)$ and

$A_{\frac{1}{\beta_X}}(\Gamma)$ . We prove that these conditions guarantee the boundedness of the Cauchy singular integral operator

$S$ in the weighted rearrange\-ment-invariant space

$X(\Gamma,w)$ . Under a ``disintegration condition'' we construct a symbol calculus for the Banach algebra generated by singular integral operators with matrix-valued piecewise continuous coefficients and get a formula for the index of an arbitrary operator from this algebra. We give nontrivial examples of spaces, for which this ``disintegration condition'' is satisfied. One of such spaces is a Lebesgue space with a general Muckenhoupt weight over an arbitrary Carleson curve.
