Mining News Pro - The iron ore price fell on Friday on renewed concerns over demand in China, where fresh covid-19 alerts threaten to derail the economy’s reopening and steel margins have come under pressure.
Benchmark 62% Fe fines imported into Northern China fell 1.94% Friday morning, to $141.19 per tonne.
The most-traded September iron ore contract on China’s Dalian Commodity Exchange ended daytime trading 1.7% lower at 914.50 yuan ($136.83) a tonne.
Shanghai faces an unexpected round of mass covid testing this weekend, following the discovery of a few cases in the community, just 10 days after a city-wide lockdown that hurt businesses was lifted.
“China remains a big source of uncertainty for global growth,” JP Morgan analysts said in a note. While the economy’s reopening has led to a surge in China’s exports in May, it “also raises the risk that cases re-emerge”.
Meanwhile, spot iron ore in China traded higher this week, hitting a seven-week peak on Thursday at $148 a tonne, SteelHome consultancy data showed, as short-term demand picked up.
China’s iron ore imports rose 3% in May from a year earlier, data on Thursday showed, after disruptions to shipments by major suppliers eased.
The country ramped up its purchases – despite weak profits at steel mills – also because of the easing of covid-related curbs and Beijing’s stimulus support for the struggling economy.
