Global Hedge Book Analysis Q2-2008
Das vom GFMS publizierte Hedgebook für das zweite Quartal 2008 weist die Vorwärtsverkäufe der Goldproduzenten auf dem niedrigsten Stand seit 1987 aus.
Key Points
- Producer de-hedging remained a strong demand component in the second quarter, generating 4.06 Moz (126 t) of demand.
- The global producer hedge book at end-Q2 stood at 18.81 Moz (585 t) in delta-adjusted terms.
- Producers’ average realised prices fell markedly compared to the change in the period average spot price, falling to $742/oz.
- Accompanying the additional cuts made to hedge positions, the marked-to-market value of the global book at end quarter stood at negative $9.8 billion. The end-quarter gold price remained relatively static, falling by only $3/oz.
- The second quarter saw a reversal in the trend of hedge book sensitivity: A significant retracement in the gold price would now increase the implied delta of the net options position, the opposite relationship to that of recent years.
