# The Global Intelligence Files

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Iron Ore Prices
Further mine earlier, which quotes paper for Indian or
Brazilian 63.5/63% delivered China.
Please note the following report on Physical prices, which
shows paper is lagging physical by quite a margin.
This report also underscores 'with facts' my ongoing views
as to The reality of what is happening in China with steel
production, contrary to the Rhetoric going around about a
Chinese Slowdown.
Bad news for China and all steel producers struggling to
pass on margins due to increasing steel production costs
but very good news for all Iron ore producers.
PHYSICAL MARKET
The physical market remained firm on Wednesday, with
activity improved and trades/tenders at around last done
levels. Platts reported Australian 61.5% Fe Pilbara fines
trading at $178.50/dmt CFR Qingdao compared to $178/dmt
CFR North China on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, TSI reported Brazilian 63.5/63% Fe fines
and 65/64% Fe fines trading at $183/dmt and $193.50/dmt
(CFR China) respectively.
Indian 63.5/63% Fe fines were also reported done at
$189-$190/dmt. The TSI, Platts and Metal Bulletin indices
were all marked a touch higher:
TSI 62% (3.5% Al): $178.30 (up $0.40)
PLATTS 62%: $180.25 (up $0.50)
MBIOI 62%: $178.31 (up $0.54)
TSI 62% (2.0% Al): $180.80 (up $0.40)
Spot iron ore prices held firm on Wednesday, as strong
steel output in top producer China kept buying interest
for the raw material intact, with tight Indian supplies
lending support, reports Reuters. An iron ore trader in
Singapore, citing factors supporting prices, said "The
Chinese continue to produce steel like crazy andIndian
supplies are extremely tight at the moment, " Reuters added.
