This market will resolve to "Yes" if, on any trading day, the official CME settlement price for the Active Month (front month) of Gold (GC) futures is equal to or above the listed price by the final trading day of December 2026. Otherwise, the market will resolve to "No". For CME Gold (GC) futures contracts, the Active Month is the nearest of CME's designated delivery-cycle months (February, April, June, August, October, December) that is not the spot month. The Active Month changes automatically on the contract's First Position Date, at which point the next eligible contract month becomes the Active Month. Only the Active Month's official settlement price published by CME Group will be considered. Intraday trades, highs, lows, bids, offers, midpoint values, or indicative prices do not count. Note that the settlement price may differ from the last traded price. CME's methodology to determine the settlement price can vary by commodity and contract. Only days on which CME publishes an official settlement price for the Active Month will be included. Days without settlement prices (weekends, holidays, or market closures) are ignored. This market will resolve based on the settlement price as it appears on the CME settlement page at the time it is first published for that trading day, regardless of any later corrections or updates.

The resolution source for this market is the CME Group website — specifically, the daily "Settlement" price for the Active Month of Gold (GC) futures.Gold prices have rallied sharply in August 2026 to around $4,390–$4,600 per ounce after weaker-than-expected July U.S. employment data, downward payroll revisions, and a 3.4% year-over-year CPI print reduced market-implied odds of near-term Federal Reserve rate hikes. This repricing of monetary policy has eased pressure from higher real yields and supported a weaker dollar, while sustained central bank purchases—particularly from emerging markets—and stabilizing ETF inflows provide structural bids. Geopolitical tensions tied to Middle East energy risks and oil price volatility add two-way swings. Analyst year-end targets cluster between $4,500 and $5,200 after mid-year revisions, with the September FOMC meeting and upcoming inflation releases as key near-term catalysts that could shift trader positioning on December resolution levels.
