Gold prices have rallied sharply in August 2026, advancing roughly 14% to trade near $4,600–$4,650 per ounce as of late August 27, driven primarily by the U.S. Treasury’s mid-month decision to double long-dated bond buybacks to at least $4 billion per operation. This policy shift has weighed on real yields and the dollar, reviving the debasement trade while ETF inflows accelerated to multi-month highs and central-bank purchases remained robust. Geopolitical tensions, including expanded U.S. sanctions on Iran, have added safe-haven support. The July PCE reading came in slightly warmer than expected on August 26, tempering immediate rate-cut odds, with markets now focused on Fed Chair Kevin Warsh’s August 28 Jackson Hole speech for further policy signals.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if, at any point after market creation and during a trading session of the week of August 24 2026, any 1-minute candle for Gold (XAUUSD) has a final "High" or "Low" price equal to or beyond (above for ↑ High Prices, below for ↓ Low Prices) the listed price. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
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.Gold prices have rallied sharply in August 2026, advancing roughly 14% to trade near $4,600–$4,650 per ounce as of late August 27, driven primarily by the U.S. Treasury’s mid-month decision to double long-dated bond buybacks to at least $4 billion per operation.
