European debt crisis will hit ore/coal demand: BHP

摘要

BHP Billiton chief executive Marius Kloppers has warned that the European debt crisis will continue to dampen demand for commodities such as iron ore and metallurgical coal. Addressing a conference in Perth Wednesday, Kloppers said that, in the absence of a “sustainable solution” to the problems in Europe, global uncertainty would continue to have a short-term effect on demand for resources.
