The iron ore price fell to $US49.95 per tonne on 28 October 2015, and Vedanta Resources CEO Tom Albanese expects it to come under more downward pressure. He cites factors such as China’s slowing economy and the nation’s falling steel production, which has coincided with increased iron ore output in Australia and Brazil. BC Iron and Grange Resources are particularly vulnerable to a lower iron ore price, as their break-even prices are above $US50/tonne.
