But Gold hasnt fallen that much relative to the producers so margins havnt been squeezed! If Gold had fallen then your observation is of course correct - maybe the producers are discounting the relationship between Gold and Oil. However if oil falls to $50 as GS suggests (an amazing turnaround from $200 in a 4 month time period - must be an Abbey Joseph Cohen type "analyst") and Gold HASNT decoupled from Oil then Gold will fall to say $400. The answer is IMHO that stock portfolio liquidations are throwing the (producer) babies out with the bathwater
It makes no sense that gold producers (unless they are hedging) whose product is gold have sold off over 50/60% compared to physical gold - does this signal that gold will fall to $400? I dont think so. So WTF is going on?
