March iron ore futures closed 3.1 per cent higher at $US92 a tonne in Singapore on 8 February. Capital Economics says the spot price of iron ore could rally on 11 February, when Chinese traders return to the market following the Lunar New Year break. The tailings dam disaster in Brazil in late January may also impact on the iron ore price. Shares in BHP, Rio Tinto and Fortescue Metals Group have rallied in the wake of the disaster, although Vale’s share price has slumped.
