Iron ore is at risk of losing all of this year’s gains.

Ore with 62 percent content fell 0.5 percent to $48.18 a dry metric ton on Thursday after posting the biggest monthly loss in about five years in May, according to Metal Bulletin Ltd. The drop has left prices that topped $70 in April less than $5 above 2015’s close.
