Singapore iron ore futures rose for a third straight session on Monday, buoyed by renewed optimism over demand for the steel-making ingredient in the short term as signs emerged that top steel producer China is back to ramping up output this month.
Iron ore’s most-active January contract on the Singapore Exchange rose as much as 6.7% to $127.95 a tonne, its highest since Oct. 12.
But the most-traded May contract on China’s Dalian Commodity Exchange erased earlier gains to close 1.3% lower at 673.50 yuan ($105.60) a tonne, retreating from a seven-week peak.
