Gold (XAU/USD) trades near $4,630 per ounce as of late August 2026 after surging more than 5% in the prior week and reaching 15-week highs above $4,700, driven primarily by the U.S. Treasury’s expanded long-dated bond buyback program that pressured Treasury yields lower and weakened the dollar. This revived the debasement trade amid persistent fiscal concerns, while fading odds of a September Fed rate hike, elevated geopolitical risks tied to Iran, and continued central bank purchases (including strong Chinese demand) provided additional support. Markets now focus on the upcoming July PCE release and Fed Chair Warsh’s Jackson Hole remarks for clues on monetary policy, with gold’s momentum hinging on sustained real-yield declines and dollar softness into September.

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.
