Iron ore 62% Fe fines, the steelmaking raw material. China's mills set the marginal price. At the latest reading, Iron Ore 62% Fe prints a spot of $110.77/t — a move of ▼0.32% over the past twenty-four hours and ▲3.42% across the trailing thirty days.

The v3.2 stress index places MET.IRON at 0.50 — a caution reading on a composite that blends price momentum, inventory cover, supplier concentration and geopolitical exposure. The metric is recomputed on every ingestion cycle, and the weekly delta is the line worth tracking rather than the absolute level.

For operators, the question is not the spot itself but the buffer behind it. A tightening reading on Iron Ore 62% Fe compounds with any incident on a shared transit route or producer, and the cascade is rarely linear. The scenarios below carry MET.IRON as an explicit input — each one is wargamed and reviewed against this commodity's exposure profile.
