CMRG's role in the iron ore market
*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
The China Mineral Resources Group (CMRG), established in July 2022, seeks to stabilise iron ore markets through centralised demand and strategic purchasing. Recent behaviour suggests reduced panic-driven price movements, though multiple factors contribute to this stability. The debate continues regarding CMRG's effectiveness. Sceptics maintain that supply and demand fundamentals will dominate pricing drivers. Others believe CMRG will gradually erode miners' pricing power and rationalise purchasing behaviours, though the extent to which CMRG accelerates this shift in bargaining power remains unclear.
