Gold futures (GC) trade near $4,600 per ounce as of late April 2026, reflecting trader caution after a pullback from January peaks above $5,600, driven by a firmer U.S. dollar index and rising Treasury yields ahead of the Federal Reserve's April FOMC meeting, where the fed funds rate held steady at 3.50%-3.75% amid sticky March CPI inflation at 3.26% year-over-year. Persistent central bank gold purchases—projected near 800 tonnes for 2026—and ongoing geopolitical risks, including stalled Middle East talks, underpin structural bullish sentiment, with major forecasts targeting $5,000-$6,300 by year-end. Key catalysts include upcoming FOMC decisions in May, June, and beyond, monthly CPI and nonfarm payrolls releases, and real yield dynamics that could propel or cap gold's rally.

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.
