World market
Iron ore and steel prices moved in opposite directions as investors remained cautious amid mixed signals from China and international trade tensions.
On the Shanghai Stock Exchange, rebar for December 2025 delivery fell to 3,119 yuan per tonne, or nearly 1 per cent. Hot-rolled coil and stainless steel also fell 1.2 per cent and 0.16 per cent, respectively. In contrast, iron ore futures in Singapore edged up slightly to $96.55 per tonne in the morning session on May 3.
Iron ore prices remained under pressure from high inventories, while China’s output of the hot metal, a gauge of crude demand, continued to rise sharply. Although Beijing announced a stimulus plan, delays in its implementation disappointed the market. Chinese real estate stocks fell more than 3%.
On the supply side, Fortescue (Australia) reported an increase in shipping volume in the third quarter. At the same time, China and Japan are promoting trade dialogue with the US, but the prospect of reaching an agreement remains unclear, keeping market sentiment cautious.
