The price of gold is monitored by financial markets around the world. Gold was the basis of the market economy for many hundreds of years before the abolition of the gold standard. In the periodic table of chemical elements, gold is denoted by the symbol "AU", and the common criterion for measuring the price of gold throughout the world is the US dollar. Gold is a classic safe haven asset and in 2025 the rate has already increased by more than 27%.

This market will resolve based on the spot price of gold in U.S. dollars (XAU/USD) as of May 20, 2025, at 23:59 UTC.

The official reference value will be the “Gold Price in USD per Ounce” (spot price) published on https://www.investing.com/commodities/gold. If that source is unavailable, a reliable international market data source—such as TradingView, Bloomberg, or MarketWatch—may be used as a fallback.

Resolution Criteria:

– If the gold price at 23:59 UTC on May 20, 2025, is below $3,350 per troy ounce, the outcome “Below $3,350” will resolve as Yes, and “$3,350 or above” as No.

– If the price is $3,350 or higher, the outcome “$3,350 or above” will resolve as Yes, and “Below $3,350” as No.

Additional Provisions:

– Only the spot price of gold in USD per troy ounce is considered.

– In case of discrepancies between sources, Investing.com takes precedence.

– If data is temporarily unavailable at exactly 23:00 UTC, the nearest available price within a 5-minute window (22:59–23:04 UTC) will be used.

– If no data is available within this window, resolution will be postponed until verified data becomes available.
