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.Gold (GC) futures for April 2026 trade near $4,704 per ounce, reflecting a 5% pullback from early-April highs around $4,800 amid hotter-than-expected March 2026 CPI at 3.3% year-over-year—up sharply from February's 2.4%—which bolstered hawkish Federal Reserve expectations despite the funds rate holding steady at 3.5%-3.75%. This real interest rate pressure has weighed on non-yielding gold, compounded by modest USD index strength near 99, though ongoing central bank net purchases (27 tonnes in February, led by Poland) and lingering geopolitical risks provide support. Trader consensus, backed by institutional forecasts like J.P. Morgan's $5,055/oz Q4 average, eyes upside potential; watch April 28-29 FOMC and May 12 CPI for rate path shifts influencing year-end pricing.
