Rio Tinto declined to comment, Vale and BHP did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment and CMRG could not be reached. Beijing created CMRG in July with a registered capital of 20 billion yuan ($3 billion). The creation was seen as China's effort to gain more clout with suppliers like Rio, BHP Group, Fortescue Metals Group, Vale and others over pricing. At the time, BHP chief financial officer David Lamont said history had shown that centralised iron ore purchases did not work. The benchmark iron ore contract on the Singapore Exchange was down 2.1% to $109.15 a tonne as of 0648 GMT.
