|Iron Ore Elliott Wave analysis
The SGX TSI Iron Ore Index serves as a critical benchmark for stakeholders in the iron ore market, including traders, miners, and steelmakers who rely on it for contract settlements and managing price risk. The index, derived from real-time transactions in the spot market, is widely viewed as a trustworthy reflection of market dynamics.
The index saw an unprecedented high of approximately $233 per dry metric ton in May 2021, driven by China's strong demand and supply disruptions. However, this peak marked the beginning of a significant correction, with the index tumbling over 68% to $73 by October 2022. A rebound followed, lifting the index to $143.5 by December 2023. Yet, in 2024, the recovery stalled, with the index dropping nearly 50% before showing signs of resurgence in September but about half of that was shed in October gain.
