Gold on the rise, but some may have missed opportunity

Quoted financial analysts, January 1, 2015 – March 24, 2016

New York, March 26, 2016. Quoted financial analysts have been strongly enthusiastic on gold in 2016, but the opportunity window for potential investors in the metal may be closing according to new research from Media Tenor International.

“2015 represented a lull in enthusiasm for gold as prices came down from a high at the beginning of the year,” says Racheline Maltese, a researcher at Media Tenor. “But 2016 has resulted in analysts refocusing on gold as prices climb once again. For investors already holding the metal, this is good news, but analysts are less positive on the future, suggesting the metal has limited room to run and potential profits are low for investors who have not yet entered the market.”

Risks for gold vary by region. With increasing prices, India’s demand for the metal, particularly that tied to the wedding season, is seen as diminished by analysts. Meanwhile, investors in other locations are reaching out to the metal in response to low interest rates and market instability.

This research examined all 69,615 analyst statements in eight opinion-leading business media January 1, 2016 – March 24, 2016.
