In a market commentary published on November 18, BMI notes that iron-ore (62% iron content) prices at Qingdao port are currently hovering below $100/t at about $95.7/t as of November 8, with the year-to-date average in 2024 thus far being $105/t.

After hitting a multi-year low of $85/t on September 23, prices rebounded sharply to $103/t on September 30, in the wake of Chinese stimulus announcements.

However, the rally proved to be short-lived, with prices trending downwards into early November, struggling to breach the $100/t mark, despite Beijing's efforts to reinvigorate the property sector.
