Iron ore markets have been thrust to the forefront of world news during 2010. Fundamental changes to the pricing practices for physical iron ore supply contracts and the abandonment of annual fi xed price contracts in favour of quarterly contracts priced off the iron ore spot market now exposes both sellers and buyers to greater price fl uctuations and volatility.
China Iron Ore 2011 will address the major challenges and opportunities facing professionals working with, orwithin, the world’s largest iron ore importer, with key issues to be addressed including:
• Challenges facing Chinese steel mills with this new pricing system
• Impact of these price changes on global iron ore supply and demand
• Changes likely to trigger signifi cant growth in the relatively underdeveloped iron ore swaps market?
• Latest policy and regulatory developments within China’s iron and steel industry
• Growing trend of globalisation and China’s “going abroad” strategies
Organised by Metal Bulletin Events in association with China MinMetals Group, China Iron Ore 2011 is the largest annual gathering of global mining, iron and steel industry executives. And with the two key topics on the minds of the metals industry for 2011 being ‘China’ and ‘Iron Ore’, make sure you attend this event for all the information you need to succeed.
