Probability

52%

Gold is testing the $4,000 level on July 14, 2026 (currently ~$3,996). Drivers: US-Iran crisis with naval blockade (Brent +9.6%), expected Fed hold on July 29 (dollar pressure), softer CPI (3.5%), and persistent geopolitical uncertainty as a safe-haven anchor. A move to $4,050 by July 31 implies ~+1.4% from today's level. Existing Cassandra predictions reference gold on July 18 (>$4,100 and >$3,950) — the month-end close on July 31 at the $4,050 threshold is new.

Der XAU/USD-Spot-Schlusskurs am 31. Juli 2026 lag laut übereinstimmenden Quellen bei ca. 4.046–4.047 USD/oz (mygoldcalc.com: $4.047/oz; Settlement-Kurs: $4.046,84). Das ist knapp unterhalb der Schwelle von 4.050 USD (~−0,07%). Die intraday-Marke von >4.100 USD (lt. Yahoo Finance Headline) bezog sich auf Gold-Futures bzw. einen kurzfristigen intraday-Spike, nicht auf den Spot-Schlusskurs.
