Gold (XAU/USD) trades near $4,040–$4,050 per ounce as of August 1, 2026, after pulling back from January highs above $5,600 amid a stronger U.S. dollar and firmer Treasury yields. Recent data showing resilient Q2 employment costs, Chicago PMI, and consumer sentiment have supported expectations for a more hawkish Federal Reserve path, raising real yields that weigh on non-yielding bullion. Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continue to provide a risk premium, while central bank demand offers structural support despite signs of moderation. The week of August 3 begins after a weekend close, with traders watching incoming U.S. economic releases and any shifts in rate-cut odds for directional cues.

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.
