Gold prices around $4,450–$4,480 per ounce in early September 2026 reflect pressure from shifting Federal Reserve expectations, as markets price a 50–60% chance of a September rate hike amid persistent inflation. Recent August nonfarm payrolls beat and elevated PCE readings, combined with energy price spikes from U.S.-Iran tensions, have lifted real yields and supported a firmer dollar, raising the opportunity cost for the non-yielding metal. Offsetting support comes from robust central bank purchases, particularly by China and Poland, which have helped stabilize prices after earlier declines from January highs near $5,600. Traders are watching the September 11 CPI release and FOMC meeting for clearer signals on whether policy tightens further or holds steady, with any dovish pivot likely to ease yields and bolster gold.

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.
