Global iron ore short-term outlook July 2024
*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
Iron ore prices remain under pressure from low demand and weak market sentiment. The 62% Fe fines CFR China price averaged US$105.7/t in July 2024, a slight decrease month-on-month. Expectations of steel output cuts are clouding the outlook. We anticipate a peak in Chinese hot metal production and abundant supply with inventories at Chinese ports rising again to their highest level since early June. Therefore, we forecast that 62% Fe fines CFR China prices will remain subdued throughout the year, averaging US$110/t in 2024 and US$100/t in 2025.
