Note:
Remarks*: Indian iron ore exports have declined significantly due to the control of iron ore exports of many grades by the Indian authorities. Mysteel will continue to publish Indian iron ore prices for reference so as to ensure the integrity of the pricing data. These, however, are by no means suggesting that transaction, bids or offers have taken place on the day.
