Iron ore prices decline amid expectations and Fed comments

Futures iron ore prices have declined due to demand expectations in China and views on potential interest rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve next year.

Iron ore prices decline amid expectations and Fed comments

The May iron ore contract on the Dalian Commodity Exchange (DCE) reached its lowest level in a month at 767.5 yuan/ton ($106) at the start of the session.

The January iron ore contract on the Singapore Exchange fell by 0.43% to $102.25/ton, marking its lowest level at $100.9/ton since November 25.

Some analysts stated, "We have long anticipated this correction, believing that the sentiment-based bubble surrounding China's Central Economic Work Conference will burst without any concrete stimulus measures being indicated until March 2025."

Other analysts noted that comments regarding a lower expectation of interest rate cuts by the Fed next year have had a negative impact on overall commodity markets.
