May 17, 2006 (The Australian Financial Review - ABIX via COMTEX) -- Australian analysts believe that Chinese steel mills will drop their resistance to a 19 per cent rise in iron ore prices. Brazil's Companhia Vale Do Rio Doce (CVRD) has secured a 19 per cent rise in iron ore prices in contract negotiations with ThyssenKrupp. However, Qi Xiangdong, the vice-chairman of the China Iron & Steel Association rejects suggests that the ThyssenKrupp deal has established a benchmark price for global supply deals. Alan Heap of Citigroup says the price rise negotiated by CVRD is likely to become the benchmark settlement.
