The Paragon Report Provides Stock Research on BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto
NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 09/20/12 -- Iron ore producers earlier this year had experienced a downturn in Chinese demand after officials cut the country's 2012 target growth rate to 7.5 percent -- the lowest year-on-year growth projection in eight years. But recent plans from the Chinese government to help boost their struggling economy have sparked a rally in iron ore prices. The Paragon Report examines investing opportunities in the Iron Ore Industry and provides equity research on BHP Billiton Ltd. (NYSE: BHP) and Rio Tinto plc (NYSE: RIO).

The Chinese government earlier this month approved plans to build over US$150 billion in infrastructure projects in an attempt to boost their struggling economy. Steel mills across China have increased their purchases for iron ore following the announcement. Last week, prices for the commodity at the Chinese port of Tianjin saw its biggest gain in nearly years after jumping 6.7 percent to $95 a metric ton, data from The Steel Index Ltd. has shown.
"China has shown its hand," Richard Lee, a Barclay's iron ore and dry-bulk trader, said by e-mail according to Bloomberg. "It intends to add a number of new projects and mills are now short, and therefore they are restocking."
