According to CoinMeta, on August 10, 2026, the opening price of December gold futures (GC =F) was $4,400 per ounce, which was in line with the closing price from last Friday. As of 8:22 a.m. Eastern Time, the gold price had slightly fallen to $4,391.50. Today's opening price for gold was the highest since June; however, last Friday's disappointing employment report prompted many analysts to lower their expectations for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates next month. Market observers are focusing on two key inflation reports to be released this week, which are expected to show that price pressures faced by Americans are continuing to increase.
