According to the average preliminary estimates of seven analysts surveyed by Reuters, Vale is expected to report a 30% YoY drop in second quarter profits August 7,
Most of the decline is due to a 12% drop in average iron ore prices and a 38% decline in nickel prices, more than offsetting increases in volumes shipped by the world's No 1 iron ore miner and No 2 nickel producer.
