Futures Unwind Early Pressure On Wednesday, Narrow Ranges Persisting

IRON ORE

SGX Iron Ore futures unwound pressure seen in yesterday's Asian session after a softer than forecast Caixin Services PMI underlined weakness in the Chinese economy which weighed on the metals space.

  • Despite the absence of a headline driver, losses were pared and the contract finished dealing up ~0.7% to sit at $109.60/tonne.
  • Narrow ranges continue to persist, with moves having little follow through in recent sessions. Rallies have been capped above $110/tonne, with support seen below $108/tonne.
