According to data from the General Administration of Customs, the demand for iron-ore from the Chinese importers picked-up pace and jumped sharply in March after it hit a 10-month low in February.
It’s worth noting that iron-ore is Australia’s top export product and China is the world’s biggest consumer of the ferrous metal.
Key Details:
“For the first quarter of 2019, China brought in 261 million tonnes of iron ore, the data showed, down 3.5 percent from 270.4 million tonnes in the same period last year.
Arrivals of the steelmaking raw ingredient came in at 86.42 million tonnes in March, according to data from the General Administration of Customs.
That was up from 83.08 million tonnes in February and also up on 85.79 million tonnes in March last year.”
