Iron ore price negotiations – CISA sees 10pct hike in 2010

Freight News | November 23, 2009 | View Comments
  • Metal Biz reported that while analysts forecast a boosted steel demand in 2010, the China Iron & Steel Association also sees a 10% rise in 2010 to 2011 fiscal year’s iron ore contract prices, as steel production will need more iron ore.

    According to analysis from officials of CISA, China will surely seek a
    separate pricing mechanism on the 2010’s iron ore contract price. If
    the new mechanism comes true, China will definitely take cost advantage
    to competitors from other area.
