A total of 73 vessels with 10.72 million mt of iron ore are expected to arrive at major Chinese ports during May 4-10. This will increase 1.05 million mt from 9.67 million mt during April 27 to May 3 and marked a rebound after two consecutive weeks of decline.

The volumes of iron ore departing Australian ports are likely to increase 90,000 mt to 15.84 million mt for the same period; those leaving Brazilian ports are likely to fall 260,000 mt to 8 million mt.
