In May 2021, the iron ore price peaked at USD$238/tonne before plunging to USD$80 last November. Since then, the price has rebounded around 75 per cent. But is this rebound warranted? I don’t think so – if you consider the slowdown in Chinese property construction, which accounts for about 42 per cent of Chinese steel demand, and high iron ore inventories at Chinese ports.
