The sharp downturn in the Chinese sharemarket on 4 January 2016 has in turn prompted the iron ore price to retreat from its recent high of $US44.37 per tonne. The price of the steel input fell to $US38.30/tonne in mid-December 2015, and Citigroup’s Ivan Szpakowski forecasts that slowing demand from Chinese steel mills will see it fall below $US40/tonne again. Recent data shows that there has been strong growth in iron ore stockpiles at Chinese ports.
