Central banks will keep buying gold in a push to diversify away from paper currencies amid political and economic upheaval, according to billionaire hedge-fund manager John Paulson.

Paulson, one of the biggest bullion fans on Wall Street, says the precious metal is “moving to a new level of valuation” as investors flee from US stocks, bonds and the dollar to haven assets while an expanding global trade war casts a shadow over the economic outlook.
