Almost in line with peers Rio Tinto (RIO) and BHP Billiton (BHP), Vale (VALE) had returned 13% year-to-date as of June 7. Lately, Brazilian stock is being pressured due to economic and political issues facing the country. The nationwide truckers’ strike against high diesel prices has hit stocks.

What China’s Credit Growth Indicators Mean for Iron Ore Prices
Aggregate financing in China (MCHI), which reflects the total funds provided by a financial system to its nonfinancial sectors and households, stood at ~1.56 trillion yuan in April, beating the estimate of 1.35 trillion yuan and the upwardly revised March figure of 1.33 trillion yuan.
Market Realist•20 days agoIs the End of Winter Curbs Supporting China’s Iron Ore Imports?
Since China contributes more than 70% of seaborne-traded iron ore, investors should track the country’s demand to gauge the commodity’s outlook. After falling 9.8% YoY (year-over-year) in March, China’s iron ore imports inched up by 0.8% in April to 82.9 million tons. Chinese steel mills opened up in mid-March after winter production curbs were lifted, which may have boosted volumes slightly. However, this rise was not significant—although analysts were expecting volumes to improve sequentially, they fell 3.8%.

Iron Ore Inventories Stay Near Record Highs: Could Prices Cave?
In this article, we’ll look at China’s iron ore port inventories and what they suggest for iron ore prices. These inventories reflect the difference between demand and supply.

Market Realist•20 days agoIron Ore Exports Remain Firm in April, Impacting Prices
Since the main seaborne iron ore exporters are from Australia or Brazil (EWZ), it’s imperative for iron ore investors to track these countries’ iron ore exports, which serve as a key supply-side indicator. According to the Pilbara Ports Authority, iron ore exports rose just 0.7% YoY (year-over-year) to ~42.6 million tons in April. Sequentially, imports rose 1.2%. Port Hedland, Australia’s largest iron ore loading port, is used by major miners BHP (BHP), Hancock Prospecting, and Fortescue Metals (FSUGY). Rio Tinto (RIO), on the other hand, uses Port Dampier. ...

Previously in this series, we looked at copper miners’ first-quarter production and 2018 guidance.
