Vale's shares rose 1.49% on 9 October even as iron ore extended a weekly drop on excess supply and weak Chinese steel demand. The post Vale ADR Rises 1.5% as Iron Ore Heads for Weekly Drop | Iron Ore, Oct 9 appeared first on The Rio Times .
Vale's shares climbed 1.49% on Friday to reach US$13.62, despite iron ore prices continuing a weekly decline. This was due to excess supply and weak demand, according to market reports. Kitco's analysis indicated that only a small number of Chinese steel mills were profitable, leading to thin steel margins. As the world's second-largest iron ore exporter, Brazil, and Vale's largest company in the sector, is significantly impacted by China's steel sector.
Despite the iron ore price pressure, Vale's stock rallied along with the broader market. The Ibovespa, Brazil's benchmark index, increased by 1.38% to an all-time high, while Vale's New York shares mirrored the upward trend.
