Vale’s Q2 2016 Earnings Review: Cost Rationalization Efforts To Stand Company In Good Stead In Subdued Commodity Pricing Environment

Vale’s Q2 results reflect the progress made by the company in its efforts to lower operational costs and increase operational efficiency as it continues to grapple with a subdued commodity pricing environment. The company’s cost rationalization efforts helped prop up its operating margins despite top line pressure as a result of a decline in commodity prices. With the prices of all the major commodities sold by Vale expected to remain under pressure in the near term, a lowering of costs will stand the company in good stead going forward.
