Gold has rallied over 15% in August 2026 to trade near $4,650 per ounce, driven primarily by the U.S. Treasury’s expansion of long-dated bond buybacks that pressured yields lower and weakened the dollar, reducing the opportunity cost of holding the non-yielding metal. Additional support stems from renewed ETF inflows exceeding 45 tonnes month-to-date, sustained central-bank purchases, and geopolitical tensions tied to expanded U.S. sanctions on Iran. Markets now assign roughly 60-75% implied probability to the Fed holding the funds rate steady at the September FOMC meeting following softer labor and inflation prints. Near-term catalysts include today’s July PCE release and Fed Chair Warsh’s Jackson Hole remarks on August 28, which could shift rate expectations and real-yield dynamics affecting XAUUSD resolution levels.

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.
