Iron ore demand in China, the world’s largest buyer of the steel-making raw material, is expected to remain weak as steel demand in the second-biggest economy contracts, according to the China Iron & Steel Association.
As China’s steel demand drops this year, cuts to output will increase, reducing demand for iron ore, the group said in a monthly statement on Tuesday that summarized trends in a local price index. Iron ore prices won’t rebound as the oversupply will persist, according to the association’s website statement.
