Dalian iron ore rises as supply crunch concerns persist www.reuters.com

China’s iron ore futures extended gains on Friday after touching a record high in the previous session, as concerns persisted over tight supply amid declining shipment from Rio Tinto and expectations of strong demand.

Mining giant Rio Tinto on Wednesday night lowered its guidance on volumes of iron ore it expects to ship from the key Pilbara producing region in Australia for the third time since April.

It now puts the upper limit as much as 5.7% under its original forecast, giving a window for shipments of between 320 million tonnes and 330 million tonnes.

“Rio has reportedly been shipping at relatively low rates, and this guidance confirms that the company is having some operational issues,” said analysts from Jefferies in a note.

Jefferies lowered its 2019 iron ore production forecast for Rio to 320 million tonnes from 328 million tonnes, and also reduced 2020 forecast by 5 million tonnes with concerns that the risk may spill over into next year.

With expectation of tight supply in the coming month, Dalian iron ore prices closed 0.8% higher at 820 yuan ($119.24). It surged to a fresh peak of 837 yuan a tonne on Thursday.

Demand for steelmaking raw materials continues to be robust despite heightened production restrictions in some regions, including the top steel hub of Tangshan.

The utilisation rate at steel mills across the country stayed at the same level as last week at 71.13% this week, as of June 21, data compiled by Mysteel consultancy showed.

Steel inventory with Chinese traders continued to increase this week, up by 131,300 tonnes to 11.34 million tonnes, Mysteel data showed.

Despite increasing worries about waning demand, benchmark Shanghai rebar prices rose 1.6% to 3,859 yuan, while hot-rolled coil futures gained 2.1% to 3,760 yuan.

Dalian coking coal dipped 0.5% to 1,393.5 yuan a tonne, while coke climbed 0.9% to 2,089.5 yuan. ($1 = 6.8771 Chinese yuan)
