The risk rating agency Standard & Poor’s said on Monday it may cut in two or three weeks the notes of risk of several renowned mining due to lower prices estimated for iron ore in this and the coming years.
During the next two weeks, the agency will assess with more detail the plans of companies to deal with the negative impact of falling ore prices in the cash flows, the company said in a statement.
