Iron Ore

Iron ore is a mineral with metallic iron (Fe) content. High grade iron ore contains at least 60% Fe content, and the industry has adopted the 62% Fe specification as a standard benchmark for derivative transactions. ICE offers Iron Ore futures based on both the Platts Iron Ore 62% Fe index and The Steel Index (TSI) daily assessments. ICE provides effective management of price risk around steel input costs; this type of price risk management has long been available for other factors of production and complements ICE’s existing suite of energy futures contracts.
