Gold prices have rallied sharply into the week of August 24, 2026, trading near $4,630 per ounce after surging more than 5% the prior week to three-month highs above $4,700. The primary catalyst remains the U.S. Treasury’s decision to at least double long-term bond buybacks, which has pressured 10-year Treasury yields lower to around 4.67% and weighed on the dollar, enhancing non-yielding gold’s appeal amid fiscal and debt concerns. Strong ETF inflows, renewed central bank purchases, and geopolitical tensions tied to Iran have reinforced safe-haven demand. Traders now await the July PCE inflation release and Fed Chair Kevin Warsh’s Jackson Hole speech for clearer signals on monetary policy and rate path expectations, which could drive further volatility.

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.
