Gold prices, currently trading near $4,625 per ounce as of August 25, 2026, reflect volatility shaped by shifting Federal Reserve rate expectations, persistent inflation concerns, and geopolitical risks. After peaking above $5,600 in January amid Middle East tensions, prices corrected sharply to near $4,000 in June before rebounding on softer producer price data and reduced September rate-hike odds. A weaker U.S. dollar and lower Treasury yields have provided support, while central bank demand and fiscal uncertainty add structural bids. Key near-term catalysts include upcoming U.S. GDP revisions, employment reports, and FOMC signals that could alter monetary policy paths and influence dollar-denominated gold valuations. Trader consensus in related markets prices in continued sensitivity to these macro variables through month-end.

Only prices achieved during an applicable trading session of the specified timeframe's business days will be considered. The trading session for a given business day typically begins at 6:00 PM ET on the prior calendar date. Under the standard schedule, trading is open from 6:00:00 PM ET Sunday through 5:00:00 PM ET Friday, with a daily break from 5:00:00 PM ET to 6:00:00 PM ET, except where modified by holiday or special-session hours.
Prices will be used exactly as published by Pyth, without rounding.
If Gold (XAUUSD) does not trade at all during the listed time frame, this market will resolve to "No".
In the event of a contract specification change, feed change, or similar structural modification affecting the market during the listed time frame, this market will resolve based on adjusted prices as displayed on Pyth.
The resolution source for this market is Pyth — specifically, the Gold (XAUUSD) "High" and "Low" prices available at https://pythdata.app/explore/Metal.XAU%2FUSD, with the chart settings configured for 1-minute candles.
Historical 1-minute candles may be accessed by appending a Unix timestamp (seconds) to the Pyth chart URL using the "t=" parameter.
If the relevant Pyth data is unavailable due to a system outage, data failure, or other technical disruption that prevents verification of the required 1-minute candle data, the official daily high/low price published for the relevant CME COMEX futures contract for the underlying metal—COMEX Gold Futures (GC)—may be used to determine whether the listed price was reached during the applicable trading session.
