It's striking how few mainstream financial commentators were bullish on gold when 2025 kicked off. One senior economics analyst recently remarked he couldn't identify a single prominent voice making a strong case for gold purchases at the year's start. The observation highlights an interesting gap—despite gold's historical appeal during uncertain economic periods, consensus around bullish positions seemed thin at the opening of the new year. This contrasts sharply with the reality that diverse market perspectives exist across different platforms and channels. Such disparities in visibility of certain viewpoints raise questions about how mainstream financial narratives are shaped and which expert voices get amplified in mainstream discourse.
