Ore with 62 percent content delivered to Qingdao sank 10 percent to $44.59 a dry metric ton on Wednesday, according to Metal Bulletin Ltd. That’s the lowest price on record dating back to May 2009, the data show. The raw material was until the past several years traded predominantly through annual benchmark prices. Compared with those benchmarks, this would be the lowest since 2005, data compiled by Clarkson Plc show.”
