The Commodities Market Entered The Fourth Quarter On The Rise, With The Shipping Rate From Brazil To China Increased This Year, As The Demand For Iron Ore From China Continues To Grow.

Despite the ongoing holidays in China and most of North Asia, the commodities market extended its firm operation on many of the active iron ore routes alongside Brazilian shipping.

Shipping Rates Increased Due To Iron Ore Imports From Brazil To China

Iron ore imports from Brazil to China increased by 15% month-on-month, to 23.5 million tons in August, according to the latest data from the General Administration of Customs. This is the largest volume of Brazilian iron ore imported by China so far in 2020, the data shows.

China typically sees the peak of iron ore imports from Brazil in the second half of the year. The rise in imports has helped boost demand for ton-miles on commodity ships.

Vale would need to export at least 107 million tons in the fourth quarter to meet its target for 2020. As such, market participants expect Brazil’s current market to be busier in the last quarter than in the third quarter.
