The most-traded May iron ore on China’s Dalian Commodity Exchange ended daytime trade 0.5 per cent higher at US$134.63 a tonne, after posting its fifth consecutive weekly gain on Friday.
On the Singapore Exchange, iron ore’s benchmark April contract was up 2.5 per cent at US$132 a tonne, as of 0730 GMT, hitting its highest since Feb 21.
Alien Metals Ltd (LON:UFO) is a global minerals exploration and development company that will shortly make the transition to iron ore producer.
