Gold (XAU) climbed 0.72% on Monday, August 24, 2026, bringing its price to $4,641.45. The single-day advance extended a broader rally that has gathered significant momentum in recent weeks.
Over the past seven days, gold has risen 5.61%, reflecting consistent buying pressure across the trading week. The metal's 30-day gain of 14.53% marks a particularly sharp run-up, underscoring the sustained strength in the commodity over the past month.
Gold does not carry a reported market capitalization figure given its nature as a physical commodity traded across global markets. Price movements are tracked against the U.S. dollar, and the current level of $4,641.45 represents the spot price as of the close of the August 24 session.
The combination of short-, medium-, and longer-term gains places gold among the stronger-performing assets across the commodity space in this period, with each successive timeframe showing accelerating appreciation from the 24-hour to the 30-day window.
