Iron-Ore Prices Will Advance Through 2009 on Chinese Demand, UBS Says

(Bloomberg) -- Iron-ore will rise through 2009 for a
record seven consecutive years of price gains as global
production of the key steelmaking raw material fails to meet
Chinese demand, UBS AG said in a report.

Iron ore will climb 25 percent in 2008 and 10 percent in
2009, UBS analysts led by Daniel Brebner wrote in a report
yesterday. That's higher than UBS's previous forecasts for a 10
percent gain in 2008 and no increase in 2009. Macquarie Bank
Ltd. expects 2008 prices to rise 17.5 percent, Citigroup Inc.
forecasts 20 percent and Credit Suisse Group 25 percent.
