NMDC Shares Climb Amid Surge in Global Iron Ore Prices

Liquide -

On September 30, shares of metal companies witnessed a notable rally, driven by a significant spike in iron ore prices. This was further supported by China's strategic efforts to revive its struggling property sector. Among the companies seeing substantial gains, NMDC stood out with an impressive gain of over 4%, while other key players like JSW Steel and Hindalco also climbed around 2% each.

NMDC's shares have risen for eight straight days, advancing nearly 15% during this streak. This recent uptrend is mainly due to the global rise in iron ore prices, which continues to strengthen NMDC's market position.

China’s Policy Moves Boost Market Sentiment

Iron ore prices have soared nearly 11% following the relaxation of home buying regulations in three of China’s largest cities—Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. These adjustments are part of a wider effort by Beijing to revive its struggling property sector, a crucial development since China is the leading global consumer of iron ore. The relaxation of these rules has positively influenced demand projections for iron ore and other metals, contributing to the bullish sentiment in the metals market.

Amidst a prolonged property sector debt crisis, rising youth unemployment, and softening demand, the People's Bank of China (PBOC) rolled out a series of initiatives last week aimed at stimulating economic growth. Read more about these initiatives: Key Policy Changes by the PBOC.

Iron Ore Prices Reach New Highs

The adjustments in China's domestic policy have had a direct impact on iron ore futures, which soared on the Singapore Exchange, reaching their highest levels since July. 

Additionally, other metals like copper and zinc have also seen price increases on the London Metal Exchange, signalling a broader optimism in the metals market. 

Global iron ore prices have risen 26% from their recent lows, which dipped below $90 last week. This upturn in global prices is expected to stabilize domestic prices. 

Notably, NMDC, whose business heavily relies on iron ore, has experienced a decline in its own iron ore prices by 17% to 18% since May this year. The recent rally in global iron ore prices could aid NMDC’s revenue and profitability as market conditions improve and prices stabilize at these higher levels.
