What you also need to know - and I have been writing on for some months - is that Transnet is re-allocating the tonnage per client for the export line
All contracts and allocation end December 31st 2026 and the new dispensation starts January 1st 2027
Announcement should be made mid-December (but) I'd wager there may be challenges as the big boys (Kumba, Assore, ARM etc) potentially see their allocation trimmed to meet the new mandate of assisting small-to-mid scale BEE iron ore miners - like $JSAFT Afrimat as one example (they have a current export allocation of 870,000 tons but its never been fully utilised as Transnet has under-performed for years on that line)
Should #AFT gain a sizeable increase in allocation - I've written it (could) rise from 870kt to @1.5mKt ... they #AFT no longer have to sell at below spot cost (R1,500 a ton) to the failing Arcelor Mittal SA and can export their higher quality iron ore banking greater revenue & profits
Currently #AFT can't export so the only domestic buyer is AMSA & they pay way below market. Granted , #AFT still make an nice markin but its well below global prices
Granted, on any higher export allocation #AFT will still have to pay a % marketing fee to Kumba + elevated shipping costs BUT better to get nearer spot R1,500 a ton than sell to AMSA at @R800 a ton
That's one of the silver bullets that (could) be a win for #AFT alongside selling cement and using proceeds to reduce the R1,6bn (50% gearing) debt
Results and the narrative tomorrow could be interesting to listen too
Transnet is fixing and improving the rail between Sishen and Saldanha - if iron ore prices can recover .....maybe then the chart of kumba will start to look better....

Another cross on the grass.
Another family shattered.
Another atrocity denied.
All murders are equal, but some murders are less equal than others

Thanks Frans. I think it's just the platform I'm using that reflects the incorrect price. I checked on Trading View, I don't see that error.
