The spot price of iron ore has risen above $US135 per tonne, and Fastmarkets MB notes that the price of the steel input has now gained 45 per cent in the last three weeks. However, Lachlan Shaw of UBS is cautious about the outlook for iron ore, noting that the rebound has been at least partially due to restocking linked to China’s recent week-long National Day holiday. Morgan Stanley is bearish about the near-term outlook for iron ore, forecasting that the price will average $US85 a tonne during the December quarter.
