No reason to fore any producer to cut their production as we are in a free market.
But the way Mr Walsh dealing with publicity was very poor and damages RIO's social image and it's not acting as a "good social corporate citizen". As a result, they would grab more attention from the government, such as ATO to probe their tax schemes. I don't think that was a good move for RIO's shareholders.
Iron ore price is finding a balance in its own course. I would guess US$60/dmt will be the floor and it's enough to force out the high cost producers and keep balance of demand and supply.
FMG would make annual cash flow of US$2b at the spot price of US$60/dmt, so it's enough to pay off all debts by 2019.
