How it trades on rate days

How VALE has moved when long-dated Treasury yields rise — measured against TLT, the 20+ year Treasury fund.

  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year 0.52 — tends to move with bonds for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), Vale SA ADR moved 0.52% on average · correlation 0.15 · higher than 54% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months 0.54 about the same as over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days −1.04% on average against −0.74% for the S&P 500 the 10 sessions of the past year in which TLT fell most, i.e. long yields rose most
  • Latest of those days −1.88% TLT −1.29% that day 2026-09-24

Daily total returns from the adjusted price series; a TLT down day is a day long yields rose. Beta = the average move of the name for a 1% move in TLT. Past sensitivity, not a forecast. An investment diary, not a recommendation.

Company snapshot — Vale SA ADR

VALE in five paragraphs: what it makes and sells, where it sits in the Closelooknet stack, who it is priced against, why we track it, what we watch. Research diary, not advice.

What it does
Vale mines and processes iron ore and nickel, alongside copper, gold, silver, cobalt and other base metals, through its Iron Ore Solutions and Vale Base Metals segments. It runs the railways, ports and ships that move this output from mines in Brazil and elsewhere to buyers worldwide, and it also generates its own hydro, solar and wind power. It is headquartered in Rio de Janeiro and trades in New York as an ADR.
Where it sits in the stack
Vale sits outside the diary's index universe; it belongs to the Basic Materials sector within the diorama of scored miners the diary tracks alongside gold and diversified names, rather than any layer of the AI build-out.
Who it is priced against
Closelooknet's peer group places it with gold miners scored in the same sector and country — AngloGold Ashanti, Gold Fields, Kinross Gold, Barrick, IAMGold, Agnico Eagle, Harmony Gold and Pan American Silver — a grouping built on sector match rather than what they actually dig up; the market's own comparison is with Rio Tinto.
Why Closelooknet tracks it
Vale carries a Closelooknet score, strongest on valuation and weakest on momentum, and the diary's Daily Pulse named it the laggard in a three-way materials comparison against the diversified majors.
What the diary watches
Whether iron ore prices and Chinese demand turn, since the diary has flagged that question as the gap between Vale and the diversified majors it sits beside.
