Iron ore falls ahead of China unveiling fresh fiscal stimulus
BEIJING, Nov 8 (Reuters) -Iron ore futures slid on Friday, as investors adopted a cautious stance amid continuously falling demand and before top consumer China unveiled its keenly-watched fiscal stimulus package.
The most-traded January iron ore contract on China's Dalian Commodity Exchange (DCE) DCIOcv1 traded 1.14% lower at 780 yuan ($109.13) a metric ton, as of 0306 GMT.
The benchmark December iron ore <SZZFZ4> on the Singapore Exchange was 1.64% lower at $103.8 a ton, as of 0300 GMT.
With uncertainty on the U.S presidential election dissipating, the market is awaiting details of China's fiscal spending, said analysts.
Some market watchers expect most funds will go in easing local government debt burdens and won't offer much of a boost to near-term economic growth.
"We expect the impact from the macroeconomic factor to gradually recede and prices in the ferrous market will reflect more influence from fundamentals," analysts at Sinosteel Futures said.
Demand for the key steelmaking ingredient contracted further and persistently high imports led to continued pick-up in portside stocks, weighing on prices.
The average daily hot metal output fell for the second straight week by 0.6%on the week to 2.34 million tons as of Nov. 8, while profitability among steelmakers slid for a third consecutive week to 59.74, a survey by consultancy Mysteel showed.
Fears of disruptions to the Federal Reserve's easing cycle as Trump won the U.S. presidential election also put a downward pressure.
"With Trump now destined to reclaim the presidency, there are growing expectations that the Fed will not cut as aggressively as previously thought," ANZ analysts said.
Other steelmaking ingredients on the DCE posted gains, with coking coal DJMcv1 and coke DCJcv1 up 0.57% and 1.23%, respectively.
Most steel benchmarks on the Shanghai Futures Exchange edged lower. Rebar SRBcv1 shed 0.15%, hot-rolled coil SHHCcv1 lost 0.14%, wire rod SWRcv1 retreated 0.16% while stainless steel SHSScv1 gained 1.3%.
