"Less than one year ago, Dutch bank ABN AMRO has put itself on the map by being more bearish on gold than Goldman Sachs.

"ABN Amro has now released an update report with its commodity price projections for the next 18 months, and it’s surprising (but refreshing) to see the bank is now expecting the gold price to end 2017 at $1450/oz...."
