Gold traded in a volatile range during the week of August 24, 2026, surging above $4,700 early on before pulling back toward $4,450–$4,600 amid profit-taking. The primary driver was the U.S. Treasury’s expansion of long-term bond buybacks, which weakened the dollar and lowered yields while reinforcing debasement concerns. Persistent inflation (July core PCE at 3.7%) and geopolitical tensions supported safe-haven demand, alongside strong central bank purchases averaging 50 tonnes monthly. Markets awaited Fed Chair Kevin Warsh’s August 28 Jackson Hole speech for signals on near-term policy, with rate-hike odds hovering near 34% and Treasury yields influencing real-rate expectations.

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.
