“Iron ore retreated to the lowest level in at least six years as a rout in China’s stock markets threatened to hurt demand in the largest buyer just as the biggest producers plan to raise output. 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.

Compared with those benchmarks, this would be the lowest since 2005, data compiled by Clarkson Plc show.”
