Anglo American stock (ISIN GB00B1XZS820) is trading slightly higher on the London Stock Exchange as of September 3, 2026, with market data from Investing.com showing the shares at 4,134.00 pence, up about 0.51% and roughly 35% higher year to date according to a Dow Jones Newswires snapshot on TradingView.

China supply deal anchors 2026 volumes

For 2026, Anglo American’s iron ore business is underpinned by an annual supply agreement with China’s state iron ore buyer that was reached in April 2026, confirming contracted volumes into the world’s largest steel market and providing visibility on shipments for the current year, as summarized in a Bulk Shipping Watch newsletter dated September 2, 2026.

According to sector commentary compiled by SP Angel on September 2, 2026, the China contract comes against a backdrop of softer iron ore and base metal prices, which has weighed on diversified miners even as demand from major customers such as China remains intact.
