Wachovia Corp, the fourth-largest U.S. bank, said on Friday that it had incurred about $1.1 billion of further losses in October from credit market turmoil.

The company said the pretax value of its asset-backed securities collateralized debt obligations declined by that amount in October. It took a $1.3 billion write-down from the turmoil in the third quarter.

Wachovia also expects increased loan losses in the fourth quarter. The bank sees fourth-quarter loan loss provisions of $500 million to $600 million in excess of charge-offs.

Large U.S. banks have been battered by mounting consumer loan losses as the housing market slumps, and sinking investor demand for mortgages and other debt.
