Mining Company Vale Plans to Launch a Spot Trading Platform (Wechat) for Iron Ore on the Chinese Mobile App WeChat with Beijing Iron Ore Trading Center Corporation (COREX)

The world’s largest producer of iron ore and nickel, the Brazilian mining company Vale, announced on Monday, November 9, that it plans to launch a spot trading platform for iron ore on the Chinese mobile app WeChat with the Beijing Iron Ore Trading Center Corporation (COREX) in early 2021 to facilitate transactions denominated in yuan.

Optimization in Vale’s Iron Ore Sales Process

Vale states that it will be able to optimize and accelerate its spot sales of iron ore to China through the WeChat mini-program, and that the two companies signed a memorandum of understanding during the China International Import Expo currently taking place in Shanghai. China, the world’s largest steel producer, consumes over one billion tons of iron ore per year, an important ingredient in steelmaking.

Rio Tinto, BHP Group, and Vale began selling iron ore to Chinese mills in yuan as China pushed to increase its influence over prices. Rio Tinto launched a WeChat program for spot trading of iron ore at the port in March. Operated by Tencent Holdings, WeChat started as a messaging service and now has over one billion users globally.

For the millions of members of the Chinese diaspora, it is the bridge that connects them to the comforts of home, from family conversations to food photos.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

Argentina’s TV erupts and fires back: “the minister is selling us out to the Brazilians” after a snow campaign becomes the target of mockery.

A Brazilian municipality relies on 97% federal money, has 14 secretariats, 11 councilors, and a budget of R$ 131 million, but only 915 people are formally employed, and no one knows how the other 25,000 live.

Japan teaches the world how giant arched gates weighing up to 530 tons protect Osaka from devastating typhoons, block storm surges in minutes, and drain 330 m³/s to prevent urban flooding.

One of the biggest mudslides ever recorded on the Trans-Amazon Highway trapped trucks, cars, and motorcycles at the same spot for three consecutive days while a tractor with a winch tried to free them one by one under the rain.

The São Paulo government opens 1,700 spots in free courses in the capital and Greater São Paulo, with classes starting on April 27 and registrations available in person or online for areas with high demand in the job market.

Thicker walls become a thermal solution in Brazil by reducing internal heat by up to 30% without air conditioning, using thermal inertia, double walls with air, adobe, and roofs that can cut heating by up to 10°C.

Shotcrete replaces manual plastering, can double or even triple productivity on site, and delivers more uniform walls; this industrialized technique has been gaining ground precisely where there is a lack of skilled labor.

Common tiles may be on borrowed time because a new European technology transforms the roof itself into a solar power plant without the need for traditional panels that sit on top and spoil the house’s appearance.
