Iron Ore Stabilizes on Policy Support Hopes

2026-02-11 05:41 By Jam Kaimo Samonte 1 min. read

Iron ore futures steadied above CNY 760 per ton after sliding to multi-week lows in recent sessions, as markets drew some support from China’s central bank pledging additional financial backing to boost domestic demand.

The pledge comes amid excess industrial capacity and weak consumption, which continue to weigh on business confidence and the growth outlook.

Recent data showed consumer prices rose less than expected in January, while producer deflation extended for a 40th consecutive month, underscoring persistent deflationary pressures.

Investors are now looking ahead to a key parliamentary meeting in Beijing next month, where authorities are set to outline economic targets for the year and may unveil fresh stimulus measures.

Meanwhile, consumption in top importer China softened as manufacturers curtailed activity ahead of the extended Lunar New Year holidays.

At the same time, supply pressures increased as major exporters Australia and Brazil ramped up shipments in late January.

Iron Ore Holds Near Six-Week Low
Iron ore futures held below CNY 790 per ton, hovering near their lowest level in six weeks as abundant global supplies continued to outweigh weakening demand conditions. Industry data indicated that shipments from Australia and Brazil remained close to a two-year high, while iron ore stockpiles at Chinese ports stayed elevated, reinforcing concerns about oversupply. On the demand side, recent figures showed that blast furnace utilization rates in China were unchanged from the previous week, while profitability among steel mills declined to 62.3%, pointing to softer industry conditions. Meanwhile, a fatal accident at a steelmaking coal mine in China’s Shanxi province is expected to disrupt production in the near term, potentially raising input costs for steelmakers, power producers, and chemical manufacturers. Separately, electrical workers at BHP’s Port Hedland bulk export terminal in Western Australia have threatened strike action before the financial year ends on June 30.

Iron Ore Drops to 1-Month Low
Iron ore futures dropped toward CNY 780 per ton, hitting their lowest level in a month as abundant supply and subdued demand continued to pressure the market. Inventory levels remain elevated, while shipments from major producers Australia and Brazil have continued to increase, adding to supply-side pressure. Meanwhile, China’s iron ore imports rose 8% year-on-year in the first four months of the year to 418.6 million tons. On the demand side, sluggish downstream steel consumption has continued to limit steel mills’ appetite for raw material purchases. China’s steel output declined 2.8% from a year earlier to 86.63 million tons in April, marking the weakest April production level since 2018. Steel margins in China also remain under pressure amid persistent weakness in the country’s infrastructure and property construction sectors.
