Gold prices have surged above $4,600 per ounce early in the week of August 24, 2026, extending a 5%+ rally driven primarily by the U.S. Treasury's expansion of long-term bond buybacks, which pressured yields lower and weakened the dollar index near multi-month lows. This fiscal intervention, alongside U.S. debt surpassing $40 trillion, amplified safe-haven demand amid renewed Iran sanctions, elevated oil prices, and sustained central-bank purchases. Geopolitical tensions and persistent inflation concerns further supported bullion, with spot gold testing resistance near $4,700–$4,800 while holding above key moving averages. Traders are closely watching the Jackson Hole symposium speech by Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh and July PCE data for shifts in rate expectations that could influence Treasury yields and near-term momentum.

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.
