> South Korea’s STX Pan Ocean secured a 25-year, $5.84 billion contract to transport iron ore from Brazil to China for Vale. The agreement is the company’s largest iron-ore shipping contract and is expected to provide stable revenue amid weak spot rates and excess shipping capacity.

## Why it matters

The long-term agreement locks in freight business but does not itself indicate a major shift in grain or feed-ingredient supply. It concerns iron ore rather than a listed feed commodity, so no commodity price direction is assigned.
