“The conditions for (high) gold are pretty perfect,” he said during a speech in Toronto Monday evening to accept the Globalist of the Year award from the Canadian International Council.

In fact, gold fell for a third successive day on Tuesday to its lowest level in two weeks as a stronger U.S. dollar kept commodities under pressure, but spot gold was still above $1,300 an ounce.
