Where we are headed
Iron Ore Market Dynamics in the Coming Cycle
- China demand factor:
- Steel demand peaked two years ago
- More sustainable mid-high rate GDP growth (5-7%) driven by consumption
(requiring fewer commodities than in the last cycle) and structural reforms
- No massive stimulus anymore. Short-term limited and specific government
target stimulus expected to maintain target (~7% in 2016) growth only
- Recent surge in iron ore price due to seasonal re-stocking and supply
disruption at Port Hedland due to tropical cyclone
- Longer-term outlook remains positive on the strength of such massive
regional initiative as One Belt One Road, started with AIIB last year
- Global supply factor:
- Oversupply due to major expansions and cost reductions by top producers
- Major expansions to complete by 2018 (Vale sees 70mtpa capacity exit in
2016)
- Cost curve is flattening as more low-cost supply enters the market
Iron ore price expected to remain low in the short to medium term

- Creating value for shareholders continues with M&A,
Database and other Non-metal initiatives
