  • Iron ore prices could decline as much as 28% by the end of 2023 on the back of a dip in Chinese steel demand and output, experts forecast.
  • Morgan Stanley analysts say iron ore prices will fall and cited subdued production from the world’s leading steel producer China, as well as the country’s turn toward steel scrap.
  • Analysts say there’s still upside potential for iron ore prices in the coming months, as China reopens and eases Covid-19 restriction. But they do not expect the strength of China’s steel production or demand to last beyond the second half of this year.
