Spot gold (XAUUSD) hovers around $4,590 per ounce as of April 30, 2026, down over 4% from mid-April peaks above $4,800, reflecting trader caution after the Federal Reserve held the federal funds rate steady at 3.50%-3.75% amid March CPI inflation accelerating to 3.3% year-over-year—driven by a 21% gasoline surge—and a U.S. dollar index (DXY) near 98.9. Elevated inflation sustains gold's hedge demand alongside central bank purchases and Middle East geopolitical risks, countering rising real Treasury yields. Key May catalysts include CPI data on May 10, nonfarm payrolls, and FOMC communications, which could shift rate cut expectations and propel XAUUSD toward $5,000 forecasts or test $4,500 support.

Only prices achieved during the applicable trading session as listed on Pyth will be considered. 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 as listed on Pyth.
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" 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 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.
