Iron ore in Dalian drops sharply as China tries to cool price rally

Iron ore futures in China started the week with a sharp decline after last week's rally. It was stated that investors were concerned about the country's planning agency's warning of the recent extraordinary price movements.

Alongside the warnings, Dalian Commodity Exchange announced an increase in the transaction fee for iron ore futures contracts for February-May deliveries, in an obvious move to calm the rally.

Iron ore for May delivery in Dalian fell 8.6 percent to 761.50 yuan/t ($119.73), the lowest level since January 27.

The March contract on the Singapore Exchange fell 3.6% to $144.45/t.

Analysts stated that iron ore has entered a period that can be incredibly volatile.

On the Shanghai Futures Exchange, rebar and hot rolled coil each fell 2.3%, while stainless steel rose 2.9%.
