FOMO Sparks Retail Dash Into Gold and Silver as Metals Rally Heats Up
Retail investors piled into gold and silver in 2025 as prices surged—gold up about 73% and silver about 194% since January—driving sizable daily inflows and surging online chatter; demand from bullion retailers also climbed as fears of inflation and the “Sell America” meme fueled the rally. Experts warn the run could be a bubble and may see near-term corrections (roughly 9% for gold, 31% for silver) if hype wanes, though some investors remain convinced metals offer wealth preservation.
