Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
-
MineWeb's Tim Wood has an interesting account of Barrick Gold's
comments today about reductions in its huge gold hedge book.
-
Here's an especially interesting excerpt:
-
"The reductions have been insufficient to stave off
ballooning unrealized losses on the hedge book...
... stood at a whopping mark-to-market loss of $1.725 billion,
a 42 percent deterioration from the third quarter's
negative $1.2 billion and 170 percent worse than for the end
of 2002, when the book recorded negative $639 million.
-
The hedge book would consume almost twice Barrick's
end-of-year cash holdings."
