Australia, which is the largest exporter of iron ore, recently raised its 2013 iron ore price outlook as recent infrastructure projects announced by China are expected to boost demand. The Australian Bureau of Resources and Energy Economics in a recent report expects iron ore prices to average $106 a metric ton in 2013, which is an increase from the $101 a ton forecasted in September.
"Prices in the first half of 2013 are expected to remain around current levels, while prices are forecast to increase in the fourth quarter of 2013 in line with an expected increase in steel consumption demand," the report said.
