This week we present a piece by Ben Goodwin, from Merlon Capital Partners who power the TAMIM Australian Equity Income IMA, examining the changing nature of the iron ore industry. The effect of Vale’s tragic dam collapse in early 2019 has seen iron ore prices rally. As a result of forced mine closures, the global seaborne supply of iron ore is expected to be 20mt lower in 2019 than in 2018, or 1.2% of the total seaborne market. Despite a slowing economy, Chinese steel demand in 2018 remained relatively strong, albeit importing ~10mt less iron ore relative to 2017 as use of scrap steel increased, a trend expected to continue for some time. This note summarises the implications of these factors and how they affect the longer-term market balance and pricing.

I have observed economic developments in China during the past three decades and found myself very frustrated with the ways in which China is often portrayed in the media. One of the best explanations of our fundamental misunderstanding of China is provided by former World Bank representative in China and Russia, Dr Yukon Huang in his book called “Cracking the China Conundrum Why Conventional Wisdom Is Wrong”. |
