As quoted in the market news:
‘The broad move lower is here to stay,’ Ivan Szpakowski, commodities strategist at Citi Research, said at an iron and steel conference in Perth.
‘Prices are moving on a cyclical basis due to the increase in supply. The question had been the timing of it, and the rapidity of the fall, that’s something that had not been expected,’ Szpakowski said.
