As of July 16, iron ore inventories across 35 ports tracked by SMM totalled 117.45 million mt, up 710,000 mt from a week ago and 12.25 million mt from a year ago. Daily average deliveries from the 35 ports dropped 97,000 mt on a weekly basis to 2.53 million mt this week as crude steel output cut policy constrained steel mill purchase.
