China halts BHP iron ore purchases, boosting prices and forcing steelmakers to switch ores.
China has halted all new purchases of BHP iron ore cargoes, expanding earlier restrictions on the miner’s Jimblebar blend, according to people familiar with the matter.
The move, led by state-owned China Mineral Resources Group, bans dollar-denominated seaborne shipments and yuan spot market deals, reflecting Beijing’s push to gain leverage in pricing talks with major miners.
The action has prompted some steelmakers to adjust production using alternative ores.
BHP shares fell, and iron ore futures rose, amid the escalation in the ongoing dispute.
