There's a simple pattern in commodities: buy signals trigger rallies, sell orders spark crashes. When it comes to iron ore, China's massive purchasing power reshapes the entire market structure. Every move into or out of the market sends ripples across global pricing. It's less about supply and demand mechanics and more about the sheer scale of one player's influence—how institutional appetite can swing prices in either direction.

actually if you run a basic correlation analysis on china's fe imports vs global spot prices, the r-squared is way too high for this to be pure supply/demand. institutional order flow creating artificial price discovery smh

Whenever China makes a move, the entire iron ore market trembles—this is what you call the power of major players.
