Gold prices near $4,650 per ounce in late August 2026 reflect trader focus on Federal Reserve policy under Chair Kevin Warsh, where recent tame CPI and nonfarm payrolls data have trimmed September rate-hike odds to around 35 percent, lowering real yields and supporting the metal as a hedge. Persistent inflation above the 2 percent target, ongoing central bank purchases, a softer dollar, and Middle East geopolitical risks continue to underpin demand despite earlier 2026 highs above $5,600. Upcoming FOMC communications and inflation releases will likely set the near-term path, with gold's performance tied to shifts in monetary expectations and risk sentiment.

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.
