Iron ore prices are for Chinese imported iron ore fines, 62% Fe, spot (CFR Tianjin port).

For information sources, product definitions and to see more recent commodity price data, see commodity prices page.

To assess the effect of a change in any principal steel cost input (scrap, iron ore, other steel raw material, energy, or labour) on the total, fixed or variable production cost of any steel product (semi-finished; or flat, long, or pipe and tube finished steel products) made through either main production process route (integrated steel manufacturing or EAF-based steelmaking), or for any similar cost benchmarking exercise, please contact our steel cost modelling economists for assistance.
