In the second half of this year we will definitely implement that (iron ore hedging)

Iron ore derivatives traded on the Singapore Exchange have roughly doubled in volume each year since their launch in 2009, but are still roughly half the 1.3 billion tonnes of physical seaborne iron ore traded globally each year.
