As survey conducted by SMM on the 6th of March, total iron ore inventories across 10 major ports stood at 117.91 million tonnes, representing a week-on-week decrease of 960,000 tonnes. This overall reduction was led by a slight destocking of coarse fines and lump ore, while inventories of concentrate and pellets experienced a minor accumulation.
