Pending ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 21. July 2026 · Predicted for 25. July 2026 · Based on: Ongoing Event

Probability

62%

Gold is trading at $4,040–4,080/oz on July 21 (CNBC/Trading Economics). Key drivers: Brent crude at $91.10 (+2.1% intraday) due to US-Iran tensions, EUR/USD at 1.1417 (softer dollar), ECB meeting July 23 expected to hold (removes uncertainty). Closing above $4,100 requires only +0.5–1.5%, within daily range. No Polymarket anchor for this threshold; probability derived from technical setup and market structure.
