Gold futures (GC) recently surged to all-time highs above $2,760 per ounce, driven by safe-haven demand amid US presidential election uncertainty on November 5 and escalating Middle East geopolitical risks. This rally reflects trader consensus pricing in further Federal Reserve easing after September's 50 basis point fed funds rate cut, with December contracts implying about 25 basis points of additional reduction at the December 18 FOMC meeting. A softening US dollar—DXY near 103—and declining real yields on 10-year Treasuries around 4% provide tailwinds, alongside sustained central bank purchases exceeding 1,000 tonnes YTD. Key catalysts ahead include the November 13 CPI release and post-election fiscal policy shifts, which could amplify volatility as December resolution nears.

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 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.
