Vale To Adopt Index Pricing For Iron Ore

Brazilian iron ore miner Vale SA is to adopt a different iron ore pricing system and has more than doubled rates on some types of ore, the Sao Paulo newspaper, Valor Economico has reported, citing a note the company has sent to its clients.

The new prices will be valid from April until June and Vale will use the Platts Iodex index instead of a benchmark pricing system.

The price of Carajas sinter feed will increase to $122.20 per metric ton from last year’s reference price of $57, the newspaper said.
