Iron ore prices experienced significant volatility in the second quarter of 2024, driven by concerns about weaker demand from China's real estate sector and a slowdown in infrastructure development.
The fear expressed by institutional analysts at the start of the year that 2024 will see some degree of volatility on the iron ore price front seems to be coming true. On April 1, the beginning of the second fiscal quarter, iron ore prices fell to a ten-month low. Costs for the raw steel-making material dipped by 3.9% to U.S. $96.25 a ton on the Singapore Exchange in early trade before recovering.

This, in turn, led to a notable increase in port inventories. China is the primary purchaser of over 70% of the world’s total iron ore via ports.
