"Vale’s net loss for 1Q15 was $3.12 billion compared to a loss of $1.85 billion in 4Q14. A major part of the loss was due to the non-cash impact of the depreciation of the Brazilian real (or BRL). The majority of Vale’s debt is denominated in US dollars and BRL depreciation, to the tune of 20.8% quarter-over-quarter. This led to more losses than gains on costs."

Vale's CFO must be a "clown" as well according to our resident genius, spuza12:
“Because the functional currency of Vale is the Brazilian real, every time our total debt when expressed in the functional currency increases in value, we record a loss,” Chief Financial Officer Luciano Siani said in a video posted on the company’s website. “We acknowledge the challenging times.”

Another clown!!
Unfortunately, the issues don’t stop here for FMG.
Since the US Dollar Index was trading at 87 US cents, I’ve detailed analysis to readers why I expect to see a significantly stronger US dollar this year and next. We’re looking at a US Dollar Index shooting far beyond 160 US cents.

MF, more clowns!
What does it mean? Investors may see troubling similarities between Fortescue and Arrium based on their large, US dollar denominated debt piles and relatively high cost of production
