On the other hand, the metal market witnessed the prices of 9/10 commodities simultaneously improving. Of which, the price of iron ore jumped 3% to 99 USD/ton, marking the third consecutive increase.
In recent trading sessions, iron ore prices have recorded a recovery trend as the market is concerned about the risk of short-term supply disruptions.
The cause comes from the complicated stormy weather situation in China, especially the impact of storm Danas, which potentially affects the transportation of iron ore for steel production in this country in the coming time.
Meanwhile, according to data from analysis units, China's iron ore import demand in June is estimated at 110 million tons, recording the highest level since the beginning of the year and increasing sharply by 13% compared to 97.4 million tons in the same period last year.
A combination of adverse weather factors along with strong demand for iron ore imports has created short-term support for iron ore prices.
