Polymarket traders are pricing a 65% implied probability for Gold (GC) futures to hit $2,700 by March 31, driven primarily by persistent geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and renewed safe-haven demand amid U.S. election uncertainty, pushing spot gold above $2,670 this week per COMEX data. Real yields on 10-year TIPS remain near 2.0%, capping upside, while a strengthening USD index at 104.5 exerts downward pressure. Key catalysts ahead include Thursday's core PCE inflation release—consensus at 2.7% YoY—and the March 20 FOMC dot plot, where fewer projected rate cuts could reinforce hawkish sentiment. Historical precedent shows gold rallying 5%+ on similar risk-off flows, but trader consensus reflects balanced positioning with $150M in open interest.

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.
