Iron Ore Imports Profit Declines Amid Supply Recovery and Macroeconomic Uncertainties

Publicado: Feb 25, 2025 09:19
According to SMM's imported ore cost-profit table, the profit of imported ore decreased slightly. SMM shipping data shows that the global iron ore shipment totaled 26.93 million mt, up 8.7% MoM. Among them, shipments from Australia were 13.34 million mt (up 1.5% MoM), and shipments from Brazil were 6.72 million mt (up 33.4% MoM). SMM data also indicates that China's total iron ore port arrivals reached 24.61 million mt, up 5.8% MoM. Both shipments and port arrivals increased simultaneously, leading to a recovery in iron ore supply, which weakened support for ore prices. Additionally, market rumors suggest that GDP growth may slow down in 2025, slightly dampening market sentiment. In the short term, the fundamentals of iron ore remain stable. With the Two Sessions approaching, market expectations persist, significantly impacting ore prices. Attention should be paid to macroeconomic news and end-use demand. It is expected that the profit of imported ore will remain stable with a weak trend in the short term.
