Gold (XAU/USD) has rallied sharply into the week of August 24, 2026, trading near $4,640–$4,660 after posting its third consecutive weekly gain of roughly 5% and reclaiming levels last seen in mid-May. Softer July nonfarm payrolls and in-line inflation data have trimmed September Federal Reserve rate-hike odds to around 30–35%, easing real-yield pressure on the metal while a softer dollar and Treasury buyback announcements further reduce opportunity costs. Persistent central-bank demand and safe-haven flows tied to Middle East tensions continue to underpin prices. Traders are watching upcoming ADP employment figures, Q2 GDP prints, and any FOMC communications for shifts in the policy path that could influence near-term momentum.

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.
