Gold futures (GC) trade near $2,165/oz as the March contract approaches expiration on March 27, with trader consensus pricing in end-of-month levels shaped by Fed policy signals and inflation dynamics. The metal's recent rally to a record $2,229/oz stemmed from safe-haven demand amid Middle East tensions, robust central bank purchases (led by China), and initial rate-cut hopes, but pulled back on strong U.S. jobs data and the FOMC's March 20 decision to hold rates steady while trimming 2024 cut projections to three. Critical ahead: March 29 core PCE inflation release—consensus eyes 0.3% monthly gain; softer data could boost non-yielding gold via weaker USD and Treasury yields, while hotter prints reinforce hawkish stance.

For CME Gold (GC) futures contracts, the Active Month is the nearest of CME's designated delivery-cycle months (February, April, June, August, October, December) that is not the spot month. The Active Month changes automatically on the contract's First Position Date, at which point the next eligible contract month becomes the Active Month.
Only the Active Month's official settlement price published by CME Group will be considered. Intraday trades, highs, lows, bids, offers, midpoint values, or indicative prices do not count.
Note that the settlement price may differ from the last traded price. CME's methodology to determine the settlement price can vary by commodity and contract.
Only days during March on which CME publishes an official settlement price for the Active Month will be included. Days without settlement prices (weekends, holidays, or market closures) are ignored.
This market will resolve based on the settlement price as it appears on the CME settlement page at the time it is first published for that trading day, regardless of any later corrections or updates.
The resolution source for this market is the CME Group website — specifically, the daily "Settlement" price for the Active Month of Gold (GC) futures.
