LONDON — Peter Hambro, chairman of gold producer Petropavlovsk Plc, said he was “horrified” by the manipulation of the London fix given its importance to the industry.
“When I read the reports on what people had been doing to it, I was horrified,” Hambro said in an interview today. “It is something that is really important to people in the industry. It’s something that we use in a big way as we deliver our gold. That’s how we price.”
