Frequently asked questions about Iron Ore & China Demand monitoring

Common questions about tracking iron ore & china demand news with SentryDock.

China imports over 1.1 billion tonnes of iron ore annually, representing roughly 70% of global seaborne trade. Chinese steel production, driven by property construction and infrastructure spending, is the overwhelming demand driver. Beijing's economic stimulus decisions directly move iron ore futures.
SGX TSI Iron Ore 62% Fe CFR China is the primary pricing benchmark for seaborne iron ore. The 62% refers to iron content — higher-grade ores (65%+) command premiums while lower grades trade at discounts. The grade spread widens when steel margins are strong, as mills prefer efficient high-grade feed.
Vale (Brazil), BHP and Rio Tinto (Australia) are the 'Big 3' controlling roughly 60% of seaborne supply. Fortescue (Australia) is the fourth major producer. Their quarterly production reports and shipment data are closely watched for supply-side signals.
Iron ore inventories at major Chinese ports (tracked weekly) are a key supply indicator. Rising stockpiles above 130-140 million tonnes typically signal oversupply and pressure prices lower. Rapid drawdowns indicate strong mill demand and support higher prices.
