Gold (XAU) rose 0.39% on Saturday, August 22, 2026, bringing the spot price to $4,608.08. The modest daily gain extended a broader rally that has gathered momentum over recent weeks.
Over the past seven days, gold has climbed 5.31%, reflecting sustained buying pressure across the week. The 30-day picture is even more pronounced, with the metal up 11.81% over that period.
The consecutive stretch of gains across daily, weekly, and monthly timeframes points to a consistent upward move in the precious metal. No market capitalization figure is available for gold, as the commodity trades on spot and futures markets rather than through a fixed supply of listed shares.
Saturday's close at $4,608.08 marks the latest data point in a run that has seen gold appreciate sharply over the trailing month, with the one-month advance of 11.81% standing as the most significant performance window in the current dataset.
