The 2020 coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic has had a noteworthy impact on commodities prices, including metals such as iron ore. The impact of Covid-19 on the global iron ore industry is apparent from the decline in the average year-to-date price of iron ore as of May 2020 (83.50 U.S. dollars per metric ton) as compared to the average price in 2019 (90.40 U.S. dollars per metric ton). Compared to other metals, however, iron ore prices have stayed relatively resilient, and are expected to recover further during 2020 once China's steel production increases again.
