This market will resolve to "Yes" if, on any trading day, the official CME settlement price for the Active Month (front month) of Gold (GC) futures is equal to or above the listed price by the final trading day of December 2026. Otherwise, the market will resolve to "No". 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. If the official settlement price for any relevant trading day has not been published on the CME Group website within 72 hours of the final trading day (ET) of the specified period, the market will resolve based on the settlement prices published through all CME channels up to that point. This market will resolve to "Yes" if, on any trading day, the official CME settlement price for the Active Month (front month) of Gold (GC) futures is equal to or above the listed price between market creation and the final trading day of December 2026. Otherwise, the market will resolve to "No". Price action before this market’s creation will not be considered.

Gold prices trade near $4,350 per ounce amid volatility driven by shifting Federal Reserve rate expectations and inflation data. Hotter-than-expected August PPI and upcoming CPI releases have lifted odds of a September FOMC hike to around 50-70%, pushing real yields higher and pressuring the non-yielding metal in the near term. Persistent geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and elevated oil prices provide counterbalancing safe-haven support, while structural factors—including ongoing central-bank purchases, fiscal deficits, and inflation concerns—underpin longer-term demand. Analyst year-end 2026 targets cluster between $4,450 and $5,000, with upside hinging on any dovish Fed pivot or weaker growth data and downside tied to sustained tightening. Traders should monitor the September 11 CPI print and subsequent policy signals for shifts in market-implied odds.
