Fact Check
The assessment of the statement is "likely_true" with high confidence based on strong, consistent evidence from authoritative sources. Multiple primary sources from the CME Group, the operator of the COMEX exchange, directly corroborate the central claim that Gold Futures reached a new record high. Specifically, a video title explicitly states, "Silver and Gold futures reached new all time highs," which is further referenced on another product page, and a newsletter reports that gold achieved its "all time high price." This provides powerful, direct evidence that the event of a record high occurred.The only point of uncertainty is the specific price of "$5,344.70," which is not explicitly mentioned in any of the provided source summaries. However, there is no contradictory information presented. Given that the most critical part of the claim—the setting of a new all-time high—is confirmed by multiple highly credible and relevant sources from the exchange itself, it is highly probable that the associated price is also correct. The lack of the specific number in the summaries slightly reduces the truth probability from 1.0, but the overall weight of the evidence strongly supports the statement's truthfulness.
