No prices today with CNY. But Vale is out with a solid production report, from Bloomie:
Vale SA, the largest iron-ore producer, reported a 2.1 percent increase in fourth-quarter production of the steel-making ingredient, capping a record year as large miners boost their share of an oversupplied global market.
Output excluding a stake in the Samarco Mineracao SA venture rose to 83 million metric tons from 81.3 million tons a year earlier, the company said in a statement Thursday.
