Let me understand this Last year, Sinopec lost nearly USD$700 million on crude oil swap hedges when the crude collapsed & the Nigerian national oil co. lost one billion dollar on swaps a few years ago.
The crazy part is that the investing trading arm of AOI and BTG (50% each) - doing swaps and forward futures contracts - undertook to render an opinion that AOI's earnings are in line for 2020/21. No arms'-length in real independence because of the in-house opinion. AOI is playing crude futures and not physical deliveries. With Dow and Tsx up big today, the stock is dead in the water. Wonder why?
Good luck.
