Movement Alert｜Vale SA Falls 3.04% in Regular Trading, Iron Ore Futures Drop for Third Straight Day as China Steel Mill Profits Plunge

Market Focus03:18

On September 17, Vale SA fell 3.04% in regular trading, trading at $14.02/share, with turnover of $487 million. The decline was driven by a confluence of negative signals from the iron ore market and weakening demand from China's steel sector.

Iron ore futures broke below 720 yuan per ton, marking the third consecutive trading day of losses. Adding to the bearish sentiment, China Mineral Resources Group reportedly advised multiple domestic steelmakers to avoid purchasing Rio Tinto's Pilbara Blend ore, intensifying concerns over deteriorating iron ore demand. Chinese steel mill profitability has plunged to just 8%, further dampening the outlook for raw material consumption.

The broader Steel & Iron sector traded under pressure. Among peers, Nucor fell 0.52%, Steel Dynamics dropped 1.38%, Reliance Steel & Aluminum declined 0.90%, and ArcelorMittal SA lost 0.56%, while Cleveland-Cliffs bucked the trend with a 1.27% gain. Notably, multiple major banks including Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and Bank of America have downgraded Vale SA in recent months, citing limited upside amid softening metal prices.
