Iron ore may tumble below $35 a metric ton as steel mills in China face weak demand at home and increasing barriers to exports, according to Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd.
The steel-making raw material will remain weak through March and trade between $35 and $40, the bank forecasts in an e-mailed report Tuesday. The probability of prices declining below this range in the short term is “rising daily”, ANZ said.
