"What Is the New High-Grade Iron Ore Silica VIU Index?
The Purpose and Development of the New Index
The high-grade iron ore 0.5% Si VIU (Value-In-Use) index, officially coded as MB-IRO-0192, was developed to provide market participants with a precise reference point for valuing high-grade iron ore with varying silica content. Launching on Friday, August 1, 2025, this specialized index addresses a critical gap in the market by quantifying how silica levels impact the value of premium iron ore products.
Unlike traditional fixed-discount models, this index employs a market-based approach to price adjustment, reflecting real-world trading conditions and value perceptions. The index specifically targets high-grade iron ore within the 63-70% Fe range,"
