Iron Ore Price Outlook
Iron ore prices lost considerable ground over the past month, largely reflecting easing concerns over supply tightness. On 9 October, the benchmark iron ore 62% Fe import price including freight and insurance at the Chinese port of Tianjin traded at USD 123.0 per metric ton (mt), which was 3.1% lower than on the same day in September. However, the price was up 32.3% on a year-to-date basis and it was 30.9% higher than on the same day last year. Prices for the steel-making commodity fell sharply in recent weeks as rising port inventories and signs of normalizing supply more than offset strong demand dynamics from China, the world’s top steel producer and consumer. Stockpiles remained elevated after hitting the highest level since April in early September as congestion at Chinese ports eased. Moreover, data showing increased shipments from key exporters Australia and Brazil in September suggests supply is catching up with demand, thus easing fears over market tightness and exerting downward pressure on prices.Iron Ore Price History Data (USD per metric ton, aop)
