Report summary
Iron ore's big drivers in 2017, Beijing's supply side reforms and commitment to maintaining stable growth ahead of the Party Congress, will have a less pronounced impact in 2018 than 2017. Our price forecast for iron ore is $63/t CFR, 12% below last year's average of $71/t.

In this note we highlight five key issues for iron ore in 2018.
