This market will resolve to "Yes" if, at any point after market creation and during a trading session of the week of August 17 2026, any 1-minute candle for Gold (XAUUSD) has a final "High" or "Low" price equal to or beyond (above for ↑ High Prices, below for ↓ Low Prices) the listed price. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". Only prices achieved during an applicable trading session of the specified timeframe's business days will be considered. The trading session for a given business day typically begins at 6:00 PM ET on the prior calendar date. Under the standard schedule, trading is open from 6:00:00 PM ET Sunday through 5:00:00 PM ET Friday, with a daily break from 5:00:00 PM ET to 6:00:00 PM ET, except where modified by holiday or special-session hours. Prices will be used exactly as published by Pyth, without rounding. If Gold (XAUUSD) does not trade at all during the listed time frame, this market will resolve to "No". In the event of a contract specification change, feed change, or similar structural modification affecting the market during the listed time frame, this market will resolve based on adjusted prices as displayed on Pyth. The resolution source for this market is Pyth — specifically, the Gold (XAUUSD) "High" and "Low" prices available at https://pythdata.app/explore/Metal.XAU%2FUSD, with the chart settings configured for 1-minute candles. Historical 1-minute candles may be accessed by appending a Unix timestamp (seconds) to the Pyth chart URL using the "t=" parameter. If the relevant Pyth data is unavailable due to a system outage, data failure, or other technical disruption that prevents verification of the required 1-minute candle data, the official daily high/low price published for the relevant CME COMEX futures contract for the underlying metal—COMEX Gold Futures (GC)—may be used to determine whether the listed price was reached during the applicable trading session.Recent weak U.S. economic data, including softer retail sales and consumer sentiment readings, have reduced trader-implied odds of a near-term Federal Reserve rate hike, lifting gold (XAU/USD) above $4,380 per ounce as of August 17, 2026, and securing a second straight weekly gain. The metal trades well below its January 2026 peak near $5,600 yet benefits from a weaker dollar and persistent Middle East geopolitical risks that sustain safe-haven demand. Key near-term catalysts include upcoming FOMC minutes, August PMI releases, and labor-market indicators that could shift rate expectations and Treasury yields, while any escalation in energy prices may reintroduce inflation concerns and cap gains. Market-implied pricing reflects these crosscurrents in real capital at risk.
