Wednesday, December 7, 2011, 1:33 PM Nickel and aluminum "are not areas where we are comfortable spending large amounts of capital," says BHP CEO Marius Kloppers.

Tuesday, December 6, 2011, 5:02 PM "The rating agencies are getting this one really wrong," says Jim Chanos, curious as to why the U.S. and Europe face downgrades while China and its banking sector get a pass.

Tuesday, November 8, 2011, 7:26 AM Australia's trade surplus narrows more than expected as the slowdown in China has lowered prices and slowed demand for the minerals Oz exports. The balance looks to shrink even further in coming months as the plummeting price for iron ore filters through. The September surplus fell to A$2.56B from A$2.95B. Comment! [Global & FX]
Wednesday, November 2, 2011, 10:28 PM More tales from the rumored slowdown in China, where steel production is diving, and taking the price of iron ore down with it.

Friday, October 28, 2011, 11:24 AM Though iron ore prices are plummeting as demand from China slides just as billions in supply projects are coming online (with more to follow), the price curve for the commodity is in backwardation - suggesting near-term supply constraint.
