Where we are headed Iron Ore Market Dynamics in the Coming Cycle China demand factor: Steel demand peaked two years ago More sustainable mid-high rate GDP growth (5-7%) driven by consumption (requiring fewer commodities than in the last cycle) and structural reforms No massive stimulus anymore. Short-term limited and specific government target stimulus expected to maintain target (~7% in 2016) growth only Recent surge in iron ore price due to seasonal re-stocking and supply disruption at Port Hedland due to tropical cyclone Longer-term outlook remains positive on the strength of such massive regional initiative as One Belt One Road , started with AIIB last year Global supply factor: Oversupply due to major expansions and cost reductions by top producers Major expansions to complete by 2018 (Vale sees 70mtpa capacity exit in 2016) Cost curve is flattening as more low-cost supply enters the market Iron ore price expected to remain low in the short to medium term 9 P D A C , M a r c h 2 0 1 6
