On the last Monday (01), during the eve of the All Souls’ Day holiday, the ore faced a decline of 18 points, resulting in a drop of 15%. The negative variation is due to a devaluation in the Chinese trade sector, which has been experiencing a stagnation and a slowdown in manufacturing during the Covid-19 pandemic, which has already resulted in over 600,000 deaths and about 21 million recorded cases just in Brazil. In China, there were nearly 100,000 recorded cases with a death toll of 4,636 at the time this article was closed. The country has become a reference in fighting the pandemic, as well as in mass vaccination of the population.

According to a survey published by the China Iron & Steel Association, iron production fell more in October than in 2017. The market is facing a global crisis that is also affecting Brazil: currently, also due to accumulated inflation that reaches 10.2%, the price of a bar exceeds R$ 60 in construction materials, while the average in 2017 was R$ 20 or less.

Oil prices are experiencing a slight decline this week. However, they remain at their peak for the last 2 years: the average price of each barrel exceeds US$ 80 internationally. In March 2020, the largest drop was US$ 22. The Chinese, as a way to combat this constant and monthly rise, are considering new ways to stabilize through renewable energy within companies and for vehicles.

As a result, many companies had to shut down and sell off graphics cards as well as other relevant materials.

The country also enacted a ban on trading itself. Now, it is no longer possible to buy or sell assets. One of the only currencies accepted in the region, therefore, has been the digital YUAN, which allows for international transactions without conversion fees, unlike the competitor, the dollar, which closed the last Monday (01) at R$ 5.66.
