家园 没收倒不至于吧,不过这次间谍事件对谈判的影响肯定是看得见
家园 最主要的目的应该还是在铁矿石谈判中拿下来吧

年初的估计是宝钢马迹山港今年进口铁矿石量大概是下降20%,目前情况不太清楚,没去问。力拓由于中铝事件,被当做出头鸟打掉也不足为奇。

家园 今年估计谈判应该下来了

再说现在卖矿的国家可多了,印度,泰国,哈萨克斯坦,乌克兰都在卖,这些公司再不识相点没好日子过的

家园 泰国、乌克兰向中国出口铁矿?泰国没听说有大的铁矿啊
家园 是,还不少

泰国的铁矿出的还不少,五洲检验公司为了铁矿还专门成立了矿产检验的部门,刚通过认证.

家园 可惜

圡共还没有二桃杀三士的实力和准备。

家园 太后老佛爷说过

我呢,就是爱个脸面。谁要是给我长脸呢,我就喜欢谁。谁要是让我没脸呢,我就让谁没命!

本报记者从知情人士处确认,王洪九由于“涉嫌向胡士泰等人提供情报”,也于7月5日被有关方面“带走”。

本报记者还从多渠道获悉,国内大型贸易商瑞钢联集团有限公司的一位高管,目前也结束了协助调查的程序,返回工作岗位。

家园 毛子做事就是毛躁
家园 越来越觉得有些欲擒故纵的味道了

刚开始看见报道说库存达到了7000万吨,还有些怀疑,后来见到不同渠道的证实,真是欲取之必先予之,今上引而不发,时机选择的好。

家园 怎么还是软下来了?中方接受力拓条款

搞这么大动静,最后还是接受力拓降价33%的条款(放弃了原来40%的降价要求)。

July 15 (Bloomberg) -- Major Chinese steelmakers have accepted a temporary 33 percent iron ore price cut from Rio Tinto Group, and may allow annual contract talks to lapse, Umetal Research Institute said.

Some of the nation’s largest mills have accepted a “provisional” 33 percent price cut offered by London-based Rio, the world’s second-largest producer, said Shanghai-based analyst Hu Kai, declining to name the steelmakers. He said there may be no official announcement about the price agreement.

The China Iron and Steel Association, leading the talks, sought a discount of as much as 45 percent after its mills posted losses, more than the 33 percent cut agreed by Japanese and Korean steelmakers. China detained four Rio executives on July 5 for allegedly stealing state secrets that it said harmed the nation’s economic interest and security.

“Rio is unlikely to budge on the price cuts because of the arrests as it won’t be consistent with its business practices,” Hu said. “The talks may end quietly as steelmakers accept the 33 percent as a provisional cut.”

Rio’s shares rose 1 percent to A$49.63 as of 1:05 p.m. Sydney time on the Australian stock exchange.

Chinese authorities last week said they had evidence that Rio employees, including Stern Hu, an Australian citizen and head of iron ore operations in China, stole state secrets. China is accusing Hu of bribing steel executives during iron ore price talks, Australia’s Foreign Minister Stephen Smith said July 10.

All Measures

Australia is taking all measures possible to ensure the well-being of Hu, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said today. Foreign Minister Smith will meet with a Chinese vice foreign minister tomorrow in Egypt to discuss the detention of Hu, Rudd said.

This year’s price talks between China and iron ore producers began in January, and passed the June 30 deadline without an agreement, becoming the longest-running in the 40- year history of setting annual prices for the steelmaking material. The 33 percent cut is the first drop in prices in seven years.

Hebei Iron & Steel Group, China’s second-biggest mill by 2008 output, accepted the provisional cut while the talks were continuing, Tian Zhiping, Hebei’s vice president, said last week in an interview.

The price talks are ongoing and may conclude soon, Zou Jian, a former chairman of the China Metallurgical Mining Enterprise Association, said today in Beijing. Zou cited information from the China Iron & Steel Association for his comment.

Settlement Price

Shan Shanghua, secretary general of the Chinese steel association, couldn’t be reached for comment. Nick Cobban, a spokesman for Rio in London, declined to comment.

The contract price for the benchmark Rio product was settled at about $61 a metric ton, excluding freight costs, for Japanese and Korean mills. Shipping the ore to China’s Qingdao port from Western Australia would cost about $13.32, according to the Baltic Dry Index.

The price of iron ore for immediate delivery to China rose 5.5 percent to $87 a ton, including freight costs, for the week ended July 10, according to Metal Bulletin.

Vale SA, BHP Billiton Ltd. and Rio Tinto have trimmed spot sales to China to ensure supplies to customers in Europe, Japan and South Korea which have agreed to the contract prices, Umetal said last week, leading to higher cash prices in China.

‘Swing Back’

“The steelmakers may swing back to buying from spot should the cash market fall in the future,” Umetal’s Hu said.

Rio’s sales on the spot market were continuing, spokesman Ian Head said from Melbourne today. The Financial Times reported Rio and BHP stopped putting spot iron ore shipments up for bid, citing the Steel Business Briefing.

“It’s business as usual,” Head said. The report was “not correct,” he said. BHP Billiton spokeswoman Samantha Evans declined to comment on the company’s spot sales into China.

Executives from 16 Chinese steel mills taking part in iron ore talks this year received payments from Rio employees, China Daily newspaper reported today, citing an industry “insider” it didn’t identify. Rio’s Head declined to comment on the report.

Laiwu Iron & Steel Group’s shipping executive Wang Hongjiu was “taken away” by authorities on suspicion of providing information to Rio’s employees including Hu, the 21st Century Business Herald said today, without citing anyone.

Rio had relocated mid-level and junior expatriate staff from its Shanghai office to Hong Kong and Singapore before the arrest and detention of Hu, the Australian Financial Review reported today. Rio’s Head declined to comment.
