According to a feature article in the Australian Financial Review published the day after Christmas, as new supply from Rio Tinto's long-awaited Simandou project in Guinea, Africa, is expected to increase the massive inventory at Chinese ports, and with the US under Trump’s administration planning to raise tariffs, which will hit steel demand in the world's second-largest economy, iron ore prices are expected to remain below $100/mt for most of next year.

According to a feature article in the Australian Financial Review published the day after Christmas, with the long-anticipated new supply from Rio Tinto's Simandou project in Guinea, Africa, increasing the massive inventory at Chinese ports, and the proposed tariff hikes by the US under Trump expected to hit steel demand in the world's second-largest economy, iron ore prices are expected to remain below $100 per mt for most of next year.
