So what's the fuss about? Iron ore is just one single commodity but it has statistical significance to the Australian stock market.

Rio Tinto -- another key index constituent -- generates more than three-quarters of its earnings from iron ore. Fortescue Metals -- with a market capitalisation of around US$15.5bn at the time of writing -- is a pure play iron ore producer who has returned an average total shareholder return, annualised at 92.5% over the past ten years to shareholders.
