Futures Print Lowest Level Since Early June

IRON ORE

SGX Iron Ore futures printed their lowest level since early June falling as much as 5% on Monday before marginally paring losses to finish ~4% lower. The contract last prints at $105.05/tonne.

  • Weaker than forecast Chinese inflation data, CPI was flat and PPI fell further, which weighed on sentiment.
  • The Chairman of Rio Tinto, the largest Iron Ore miner in the world, noted he saw a host of near term economic challenges in China including in the country's real estate sector which also weighed on the space.
