Rohstoff- und Minenbranche: Der Wochenrückblick von Haywood

Werfen Sie einen Blick in den informativen Wochenrückblick von Haywood:

The Weekly Dig - December 9, 2016
Iron Ore Prices Continue to Surge

Highlights:

The iron ore rally continued this week, with the price of 62% iron fines reaching passing the $80 per tonne level for the second time in 3 weeks after briefly passing the $80 level in mid-November. Rebar prices have also soared, rising from $340 per tonne in mid-October to $480 per tonne on Friday. The rally has been largely attributed to strong infrastructure investment in China, as well as the country’s slowdown in supply growth, following Beijing’s decision to close 100 – 150 million tonnes of steel capacity through the end of the decade to increase profitability of remaining producers and tackle pollution. 

The election victory by Donald Trump also provided further momentum after the President-elect highlighted increased infrastructure spend in the U.S. as a key component of his election campaign. Equity indices have also risen significantly, with both the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 Index reaching historic highs; the Dow broke through the 19,500 level (after passing the 19,000 level on November 23). The surge in base metals was a little more subdued this week; copper, lead and zinc rose 1%, 2.3% and 1.6% respectively, while nickel was unchanged for the. 

Meanwhile, the price of gold fell below the $1,160 level on Friday for the first time since February, with investors preparing for the Federal Reserve’s rate decision next week where a rate rise is assumed to be almost a certainty. Silver (up 1%), platinum (down 1.6%) and palladium (down 1.3%) also fell, finishing at $16.82, $913 and $733 per ounce respectively. WTI Crude prices pulled back this week after its 10% last week, finishing at $51 per barrel, while the UxC weekly spot price for uranium rose slightly to finish at $18.44 per pound.

Eisenerz: Chinesen kaufen größtes Minenprojekt der Welt

Rio Tinto (RIO) zieht sich vom gigantischen Simandou Eisenerz-Projekt in Guinea zurück. Damit ist der Weg für den chinesischen Branchenriesen Chinalco frei, das größte Minenprojekt der Welt zu übernehmen:

Chinese buy world's largest mining project

World number two miner Rio Tinto is exiting the world's largest mining project, by selling its stake in Guinea's Simandou iron ore to partner Chinalco, potentially opening up a new path to development for the $20 billion project.

According to a statement by Melbourne-based Rio the deal is worth between $1.1 billion and $1.3 billion payable when Simandou starts commercial production and based on output. Rio says a final agreement could be inked within six months. In February this year Rio wrote down the value of Simandou by $1.1 billion, before deciding to shelve the project.

Rio owns 46.6% of Simandou south; Chinalco's stake is 41.3% and the Guinea government holds 7.5%. Earlier this month the World Bank's financing arm – the International Finance Corporation – sold its its 4.6% interest.With complete control, Beijing-based Chinalco may revive the stalled project with the backing of the Chinese government..

Macquarie Bank: Edelmetalle, Nickel und Zink mit hohen Chance auf Outperformance

Hierzu ein aktueller Bericht auf Mining.com:

Precious metals, nickel, zinc likely to outperform over next 2 years — analysts

Despite some ups and down, 2016 has been a good year for commodities. By June, prices of most metals and minerals were very close to enter into bull market territory (defined by a 20% increase from previous lows), rebounding from their lowest in at least 25 years.

And while some raw materials have lost some of those gains since the Brexit vote, analysts such as those at Macquarie Bank believe the upward trend is here to stay. What’s more, they expect most commodities to either stabilize or increase over the next 12-24 months.

We have seen a shift to the right for many, with inventories now starting to draw,” Macquarie Bank’s commodity research team writes.

Commodities to lead the pack in the short term, the note adds, are alumina, nickel and cobalt. But when talking about a longer-term outlook, the analysts place their bet on gold, silver, zinc, nickel, chrome and US natural gas..

Stahl-Industrie: China genehmigt größte Fusion im letzten Jahrzehnt

China erhofft sich durch den Zusammenschluss von zwei der größten Produzenten in der inländischen Stahlindustrie einen Abbau von weiteren Überkapazitäten..

China to proceed with biggest steel merger in almost a decade

Two of China’s biggest steelmakers agreed to merge their listed units, moving a step closer to a union that would create the nation’s biggest mill and a company with the scale to rival ArcelorMittal.

The publicly traded arm of Shanghai Baosteel Group, the second-biggest Chinese mill by output, will swap shares with the listed unit of Wuhan Iron & Steel Group, its No. 6 steelmaker, the smaller company said in a statement Tuesday. The parents remain in talks about restructuring, Wuhan said, without elaborating. A merger of the groups would be the biggest tie-up since the creation of ArcelorMittal nearly a decade ago..
