Rio Tinto flags possible supply chain risks, posts higher Q1 iron-ore sales
Miner Rio Tinto warned on April 21 of limited visibility on the effects of the Middle East war on its supply chains in the second half of the 2026 financial year, but stronger production from its Pilbara operations boosted first-quarter iron ore sales in the meantime.
Shares of the world's biggest iron-ore producer rose by 1% to A$174.27 apiece, while the broader benchmark index was 0.2% higher.
