Movement Alert｜Vale Falls 3.04% in Regular Trading, Iron Ore Prices Slide to Two-Month Low Dragging Mining Stocks

Market Focus06-06 02:12

On June 6, Vale fell 3.04% in regular trading, trading at $15.295/share, with trading volume of $199 million. The decline was driven by iron ore futures dropping 1.1% to $102.50 per ton, hitting the lowest intraday level since mid-April.

The iron ore selloff reflects a confluence of bearish factors: global iron ore shipments continue to grow while seasonal summer steel demand remains weak. Meanwhile, surging coking coal prices are squeezing steelmaking margins, forcing iron ore prices lower to restore profitability for steel mills. Falling oil prices may also reduce freight costs, removing another key price support factor.

RBC Capital Markets previously cut Vale's target price from $15.50 to $15, maintaining a Sector Perform rating, signaling institutional caution on iron ore's trajectory. RBC also downgraded Rio Tinto, projecting iron ore prices to fall to $85/ton by end of 2027.

The broader Steel & Iron sector saw widespread declines: Cleveland-Cliffs fell 6.44%, ArcelorMittal dropped 5.56%, Steel Dynamics lost 2.99%, Nucor declined 2.5%, and Gerdau fell 2.23%.
