Just-in-time inventory needs are strained, with low factory stocks and tight port supplies, leading to upward price pressure.
Iron ore prices are expected to be bullish due to supply-side repairs and ongoing demand tensions, making downward moves unlikely.

Iron ore option trading saw a slight decrease in average daily volume but an increase in total持仓量, with PCR rising to 276, suggesting growing investor interest in volatility.
