2008 iron ore price rise

Reports are coming in that Nippon Steel has just agreed an iron ore price increase, effective 1st April 2008. The price rise is 65%.

Steel mills typically accept whatever price is first settled with one of the big three miners, so it seems probable that the 65% iron ore price increase will be the benchmark settlement for other deals in the coming weeks.
