The tally, one vote per house

Gold is framed as a theme driven by steady central-bank buying, a weaker dollar, and structural concerns about government debt and currency debasement. Researchers supporting the thesis point to continued central-bank accumulation, strong ETF inflows, and the view that gold's gap to a 'shadow gold price' may close over time. Against it, a minority of houses warn that high real yields, a strong dollar and the break below $4,000 could keep prices under pressure.
Each house counts once: its newest view on the theme in the last 60 days. The counts are computed, not written by AI; the summary is AI-written from the houses’ views, without names.
