According to Antaike Information Development stockpiles of iron ore at local ports in China totaled 71.3 million metric tons as of December 21st, the lowest in two years. China's largest steelmaker Baoshan Iron and Steel has stated it will raise prices for the third consecutive month in February, providing a positive outlook for steel demand in China.
"The sharp rise of iron-ore prices driven by aggressive buying from mills amid higher steel prices is building up the case that demand may be improving on the back of China's new urbanization initiatives," said Morgan Stanley analyst Fotis Giannakoulis in a recent report. "A new wave of purchasing looks possible."
