Gold consistently outperforms other commodities

Quoted financial analysts, January 1, 2015 – August 3, 2016

New York, August 8, 2016. Quoted financial analysts have recently increased their focus on gold while extending their ongoing enthusiasm for the metal, according to new research from Awareness Metrics, powered by Media Tenor International.

“Quoted financial analysts have been in agreement on gold,” says Racheline Maltese, a researcher at Media Tenor. “Tone for the metal has tracked the sentiment for commodities overall, but has been consistently more positive, highlighting gold’s ability to benefit from economic and political pressures. Analysts have shown unique levels of agreement on the metal, while also predicting continued positives ahead in response to expectations of rising uncertainty elsewhere in the markets.”

Maltese notes the ongoing impact of political issues on gold. “From a search for stability post-Brexit to a refuge from volatility in U.S. politics, gold is seen as a safe choice in trying times. Increased demand for the metal now that the Indian jewelers strike is over will also produce a benefit.”

This research examined all 91,307 analyst statements in eight opinion-leading business media January 1, 2015 – August 3, 2016.
