LONDON (Scrap Register): The interminable slump in prices on the DCE iron ore futures continued on Friday, with the most active contract falling almost 2.5%, as per the Steel Index.
 
It was a typically quiet Friday for the physical commodity though, with only a limited amount of iron ore spot trade going through ahead of the weekend. 
 
An Australian miner held a tender for 61% Fe PB fines which concluded just under half a dollar below yesterday’s level. It sold another cargo over globalORE on an index-linked basis.
