Settlement prices for the E-mini Gold futures (QO) may differ slightly from the "true" settlement price displayed on the CME Daily Bulletin. These slight variances in settlements are the result of rounding due to differences in the minimum tick sizes between the E-mini Gold futures and the full-sized contracts Gold futures (GC). Additionally, the settlement price displayed on the CME Group Daily Bulletin matches that of the full-sized contracts for purposes of marking-to-market, as the contracts are off-settable. The E-mini Gold futures (QO) outrights trade in .25 increments and the full-sized Gold futures (GC) outrights trade in .1 increments.

Gold (Enhanced Delivery) Futures Daily Settlement Procedure

COMEX Gold (Enhanced Delivery) futures (4GC) are settled by CME Group staff based on trading activity on CME Globex during the settlement period. The settlement period is defined as: 13:29:00 to 13:30:00 ET.
All Months
All Gold (Enhanced Delivery) futures (4GC) contracts will be settled based upon the bid/ask activity of both outright and spread markets on Globex between 13:29:00 and 13:30:00 ET. Spreads to be considered in this manner are 1 month calendars, 2 month calendars, 3 month calendars, 6 month calendars, 1 month butterflies and the inter-commodity GC vs 4GC spreads. Bids and asks in calendar spreads, butterfly instruments and inter-commodity GC vs 4GC spreads will be used in conjunction with settlements from any months where a settlement price has been determined to form an implied market in the contract to be settled. These implied markets, along with the outright bid/ask market for the contract, will be used to derive the best possible bid and the best possible ask. If there are multiple prices that are eligible between this best possible bid and the best possible ask, the price will be chosen that sets the net change as close to the net change of the contract that precedes it in the settlement order.
