Report summary
Iron ore price slumped to its lowest level this year on a weak demand environment. Covid restrictions in China combined with extreme weather in the country have been detrimental to steel demand. Steel production underperformance could persist over the next couple of months in China and many risks on global economic growth exist. However, we think that from an iron ore balance of risks point of view, there is more price upside than downside on the back of Chinese efforts to stimulate its economy.
