On Wednesday, Shares of Vale S.A. (NYSE:VALE), gained 5.29% to $6.77, after company CEO Murilo Ferreira said that China would enhance its demand for iron ore in the second half this year, according to Bloomberg.
Ferreira believes that China will start importing more and exporting less in the latter half of the year as demand for the metal has reached lows not seen in a decade.
China is the world’s largest consumer of iron ore and Rio de Janeiro-based Vale is the world’s largest producer.
Vale SA’s recent deals in China have panned out well for the company’s bond holders, as its long-term debt instruments offer attractive yields.
Last month, Vale declared it had reached a deal with Chinese firms to sell four of its iron ore ships for $445 million. The Brazilian mining company also signed a $4 billion loan deal with the Industrial & Commercial Bank of China Ltd.
“Vale is paying a nice yield,” Danilo Onorino of Dogma Capital SA told Bloomberg. The yield on the company’s bond is “correlated to the potential turnaround of China,” Mr. Onorino further noted. “So you have the angle of the yield, angle of the potential growth of the company and the compression of the spreads,” Mr. Onorino said, while revealing that he made an investment in the company’s debt instruments last month.
Vale S.A., together with its auxiliaries, engages in the research, production, and sale of iron ore and pellets, nickel, fertilizer, copper, coal, manganese, ferroalloys, cobalt, platinum group metals, and precious metals in Brazil and internationally.
