great place to be for Iron Ore producers ..Canada & Sweden
"MANILA, Nov 19 (Reuters) - Benchmark Dalian and Singapore iron ore futures jumped to fresh contract highs on Thursday, driven by concerns about supply of the steelmaking raw material from Australia and optimism around demand as steel prices picked up in China.
January iron ore, the benchmark contract on the Dalian Commodity Exchange DCIOcv1 , rose as much as 3.6% to 886 yuan ($134.77) a tonne, extending gains into a fourth straight session. It was up 2.5% when trading ended.
Iron ore's most-active December contract on the Singapore Exchange SZZFZ0 climbed 0.9% to $124.06 a tonne by 0703 GMT, also rising for a fourth day.
Resilient iron ore demand from China, the world's top steel producer, and "signs that the rise in exports from Australia was easing" buoyed market sentiment, said Daniel Hynes, senior commodity strategist at ANZ."
