SGX Iron Ore futures consolidated between the 20-Day EMA ($127.62) and the $130/tonne handle on Tuesday.

  • Concerns still remain over the strength of the Chinese economic recovery, the CSI 300 printed its lowest level since February 2019, and the slow winter building season as weather deteriorates continues to weigh on metals sentiment.
  • Vale's CEO, the world's 2nd largest producer, noted yesterday that China can't control the price of Iron Ore (BBG).
