The iron ore price was trading above $US62 per tonne on 7 July 2017, but the latest forecasts from Australia’s Department of Industry, Innovation & Science suggest that it could test $US48 by 2018. The Department says the price of copper could fall by 4.1 per cent in 2018, while it expects metallurgical coal to fall by 28 per cent to $US137 a tonne in 2018. Capital Economics also forecasts that the iron ore price will fall, and UBS has downgraded its forecast for the copper price in 2017-18.
