bhpb promotes iron ore price index to large chinese mill
australian miner bhp billiton is talking to a large state-owned chinese mill about an index-based iron ore pricing system, a mill source tells steel business briefing.
the miner has presented several indexes, which are currently being used for iron ore trading, and the mill is deciding which index to use. the mill is a member of china iron & steel association (cisa), which has consistently opposed index-linked pricing.
it appears that bhpb, which eventually followed the benchmark price set by rio tinto in 2008, is not actively participating in negotiations with baosteel/cisa this year. bhpb has said it will not sign any more traditional long-term contracts with mills and wants to move to index-based pricing.
chinese iron ore traders tell sbb that several privately-owned mills ╟ which are not influenced by cisa ╟ have signed contracts with bhpb based on index pricing. no major state-owned mill has publicly admitted using or even contemplating using an index to date.
any acceptance of an iron ore index by a large chinese steel mill is likely to weaken cisa’s position on pricing. if china’s mills cannot speak with one voice, it will make the current iron ore benchmark price negotiations more difficult for china.
“some mills have realised that changes to the benchmark system are inevitable, so it makes sense to at least learn how index pricing works,” a shanghai-based iron ore trader says.
