Aug 16 32 The remaining iron ore mines in China are mostly low grade mines that produce ores with only 20 to30 iron content At the same time China’s demand for steel remains robust If Chinese iron ore supplies remain constrained then prices could rise On the other hand if China reopens mines and resumes production then prices could fall Similarly prices for low grade iron ore another key component for steel have plunged more than 18 per cent in the past month The Tangshan cut will affect 20m metric tonnes of steel or 75 per
