Gold (XAU/USD) has rallied sharply in August 2026, climbing above $4,600 and touching session highs near $4,656 amid a weaker U.S. dollar and declining Treasury yields after the Treasury expanded its long-term bond buyback program. This policy shift reduced the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding bullion while amplifying safe-haven demand amid elevated oil prices, Middle East tensions, and ongoing central bank purchases, particularly from China. Gold has posted three consecutive weekly gains exceeding 5% in the latest period, breaking above its 200-day moving average near $4,513. Key near-term catalysts include the upcoming July PCE inflation release and Fed Chair Warsh’s Jackson Hole remarks, which could shift rate-hike probabilities and real-yield expectations. Market-implied odds reflect trader consensus on these macro drivers backed by real capital.

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.
