20/08/2024 Update


Iron ore prices have dropped below USD 100 per dry metric ton (dmt), currently trading around USD 98/dmt, according to data from Trading Economics and Investing.com. The decline is largely attributed to weaknesses in the Chinese real estate market. The World Bank reports that the average price for iron ore in July 2024 was USD 106.9/dmt.
