Glencore tells investors it is on track to reduce debt -Barclays

LONDON, Oct (HKSE: 3366-OL.HK - news) 1 (Reuters) - Commodities giant Glencore (Amsterdam: GX8.AS - news) told investors it was on track to reduce its debt by $10 billion with two key deals to close at the end of this year and early next, analysts from Barclays (LSE: BARC.L - news) said on Thursday.

Barclays, which organised the meeting, said it believed the company has managed to address many concerns, which in recent weeks have sent Glencore (Xetra: A1JAGV - news) 's stock plummeting.

"Our credit colleagues believe the company can retain its credit rating, although the market clearly disagrees with this," analysts from Barclays said. (Writing by Dmitry Zhdannikov)
