Report summary
For iron ore 2017 could be a mirror image of 2016. Prices will start the year high and finish low. But the balance of risk is tilting towards another year of positive surprises. In particular, Beijing's commitment to maintain stable growth ahead of the Party Congress in the autumn should not be underestimated.
