Analysis

5d ago

Gold would need to rally approximately 20% from current levels to reach $6,000 by end-2026, with the market pricing this outcome at 47% probability despite zero 24-hour volume and modest $29k open interest. The 159% annualized yield on the Yes side suggests significant tail risk premium, though the neutral regime score (0.341) and minimal price movement over seven days (43¢ to 47¢) indicate relatively stable market sentiment with low conviction. With 259 days to expiry and a tight 1¢ spread, this appears to be a thinly-traded contract where the probability may not fully reflect gold's recent momentum or macroeconomic drivers.

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.
