Gold futures (GC) settled at $4,698.50 on the final trading day of March 2026, capping a volatile month with a roughly 15% decline from January peaks above $5,600 amid a surging U.S. dollar index and 10-year Treasury yields climbing toward 4.8%. Markets priced zero Federal Reserve rate cuts for 2026 following sticky inflation readings like February CPI at 3.2%, overpowering safe-haven flows from Middle East tensions and central bank purchases. A late-March rally off the 50-week moving average accelerated on falling yields, highlighting gold's sensitivity to real interest rates. Traders eye April nonfarm payrolls and the May FOMC for policy signals shaping Q2 pricing dynamics.

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.
