Barrick Gold shares are off 75c to $43.97 and notable trade in the Jan. $60 call as 10,000 lot sold at the 81c bid. Open interest is sufficient to cover and this might be a quick liquidation of a position established on 6/21 when a 10,000 lot translated into new open interest. The stock had failed to make a new high on 6/18 when gold hit a contract high. Weakness in the metal is weighing across the sector today.
