The gold price has been "manipulated" by central bank authorities, in particular, the Federal Reserve for decades in a broader scheme to maintain U.S. dollar supremacy in the global monetary system, said mining and movie mogul Frank Giustra.
Giustra, who is the CEO of Fiore Group and also the founder of Lionsgate Entertainment, had in the past said that the price of gold was "managed" by central banks and bullion banks. Now, he is doubling down and saying that the price is "outright manipulated."
"It's been no secret that since the U.S. abandoned gold in 1971, they've tried to suppress it to allow the U.S. dollar to maintain its supremacy. That supremacy is important in terms of your home interest rates keeping them low, it's important to anchor inflation expectations, it's important for a whole bunch of reasons," Giustra told Michelle Makori, Editor-in-Chief of Kitco News, noting that the world is currently engaged in a "financial war"
Frank Giustra is a Canadian business executive, who has been particularly successful in the mining and filmmaking industries, and is a noted philanthropist. Mr. Giustra started out as an assistant trader and then became a stockbroker at Merrill Lynch in his early career. He later went on to join Yorkton Securities, where he helped launch a new branch geared towards financing resource companies in Europe. He is now an advisor to major gold miner, Endeavour Mining Corporation. In the late 90's, he founded Lionsgate Entertainment - the company behind The Hunger Games and Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11. The company had over $2 billion in revenue in 2013, and owns the rights to the hugely successful Twilight movie franchise and The Expendables series, among other big blockbuster titles.
