Will the gold close price be above 4350 USD/t.oz on September 14, 2026 at 5:00 PM EDT?

How this settles

Resolves YES if the close price of the 1-minute candlestick for gold at 5:00 PM ET on the settlement date is strictly above the strike, in USD/t.oz. Kalshi names the settlement source in series metadata as "Pyth - Gold".

• Strictly above the strike — an exact hit resolves NO — strike_type is 'greater'. The rule says the close must be *above* the strike, not at or above, so a print exactly equal to the strike resolves NO. The 15-minute sibling KXGOLD15M uses greater_or_equal and pays YES on an exact tie — the opposite convention on the same metal.
• One 1-minute candle close, not the spot mid or the daily settlement — Resolution uses only the close of the single 1-minute candlestick at 5:00 PM ET. That is one print, and it can differ from the broader spot or the exchange settlement price a trader is watching.
• The settling candle is the one labelled 4:59 PM, not 5:00 PM — A candle is labelled by the minute it OPENS. The candle that closes at 5:00:00 PM is the one labelled 4:59. Reading the 5:00 candle reads the minute AFTER settlement.
• Rounding is 2 decimals — KXGOLDD and KXGOLD15M both round to 2 decimal places.
• 5:00 PM Eastern shifts with daylight saving — The settlement minute is fixed to Eastern local time, so its UTC instant moves by an hour in March and November. A UTC-based watcher reads the wrong candle on either side of the change.
• Replaced the weekly series — old KXGOLDW/KXSILVERW history does not continue here — Kalshi retired the weekly metals series after 2026-09-04T21:00Z (every market finalized, zero open events). The daily series had already run alongside it since 2026-07-02, so it is not a renamed continuation and its settled history is its own.

These are the rules for the whole series — every contract in it settles the same way. Full KXGOLDD settlement rules →
