At the end of the year, iron ore prices have been continuously adjusted. According to customs data, China imported 64.20 million tons of iron ore in November, an increase of 14.26 million tons from the previous month. The unit price was 162.1 US dollars, down 8% from the previous month. From January to November, China imported 62.201 million tons of iron ore, an increase of 11.0% year-on-year. The unit price was 166.2 US dollars, up 30.8% year-on-year. In contrast, the spot price of iron ore is upside down. China's iron ore spot price index CSI shows that the highest price of 62 grade imported powder ore in November reached 144.78 US dollars, the lowest is 121.93 US dollars, the average price is about 130 US dollars. “The average price of iron ore imports in customs statistics has a certain lag, and there is a gap between the spot price of iron ore in that month.†Some analysts said that the reasons for the spread were mainly due to customs clearance time and quarterly pricing. It is understood that under normal circumstances, imported iron ore vessels are declared for about 5 days before arriving in Hong Kong, waiting for customs to release to Hong Kong. Combined with the transportation time, the vessels arriving in Hong Kong in November are mostly contracts signed in September or October. Therefore, most of the foreign mines declared for customs from November 1 to 30 are contracts signed between September 15 and October 15, and the price of the mine is still at a high of 160-170 US dollars. In addition, quarterly pricing is also one of the reasons for the spot spread. The above analysts expect that the average price of imported iron ore in 2011 will not change significantly due to the fall in spot prices in the fourth quarter, and the annual unit price is expected to remain around $160.
