Will Gold (GC) hit (HIGH) $15,000 by end of December?

Gold would need to surge approximately 87% from current levels (~$8,000) to reach $15,000 by end-2026, yet the market prices this at just 6% probability with an extreme 2210.7% annualized yield on the Yes side, suggesting significant underpricing relative to the risk-adjusted 1105% return. The 259-day timeframe and $51.9M open interest provide reasonable liquidity, but the neutral regime score (0.341) and modest 24h volume of $90k indicate limited recent conviction, making this a classic tail-risk bet where the asymmetric payoff may be attracting speculative interest despite fundamental implausibility.

Resolution rules

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.
