Australia lowers iron ore price outlook below $100/t by 2022

Australia expects the iron ore price to stay at around $150 per tonne until late 2021, before falling to $93 per tonne by the end of 2022, according to a report released on Thursday September 30.

The figure for 2022 has been revised downwards from $109 per tonne, as stated in a previous report published in June.
Falling domestic demand for steel in China due to slower construction activity and the implementation of a number of government policies has resulted in weaker iron ore prices, Australia's department of industry, science, energy & resources said in its quarterly resources and energy report.
