Recent cooling in July CPI data has eased trader expectations for a near-term Federal Reserve rate hike, supporting gold's rebound above $4,400 per ounce in August 2026 after earlier 2026 volatility and a correction from January's all-time high near $5,600. With the federal funds rate held at 3.50-3.75% following the July FOMC and markets pricing lower odds of tightening, real yields and the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold have declined, while central bank purchases and residual safe-haven demand provide a floor. The next key catalysts include the Jackson Hole symposium later this month and upcoming CPI releases that could further shift rate-path implied probabilities and dollar strength.

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.
