2025 Predictions
1. US bond yield end 2025 at same or lower
2. Aus bond yield going lower
3. Big takeovers on ASX from over seas entities (not China thank you FIRB)
4. China economy to do nothing productive. Start of lost many decades.
5. Aus Native title laws start unravelling.
@HydroCarbon777 The mortgage market is $2.5T the NPL rising to $25B is akin to rounding error.
More impact from rising interest rate cutting down borrowing capacity. Or unemployment going up.
@tuvidux Brazil production not planning to increase?
There is nothing in the world that comes close to Chinese production. Now you are just talking hopium. Good luck
@tuvidux You say that now about Sim. Look at all the doubts 5 years ago (myself included).
Aus production may not rise much more as a function of port export capacity. But it wonโt decline much either.
Regardless the elephant in the room is declining Chinese steel production.
@tuvidux Simandou ramp up to 120mtpa. Other African projects progressing. New Aus projects in the pipeline, RhodesRidge etc.
At steady state IO price is going to fall. The easier money is probably in looking for African supply disruptions.
@tuvidux Declining iron ore grades mostly replaced by new high grade supply/projects.
The % of scrap metal usage in Chinese steel is growing. ~10% currently but they are targeting 15%.
