Stock Track | Mineral Resources Plummets 6.50% as Iron Ore Futures Slide Amid Seasonal Demand Slowdown

Stock Track

Jun 18, 2025

Mineral Resources Ltd (ASX:MIN) saw its stock price plummet by 6.50% in early trading on Wednesday, as the Australian iron ore sector faced significant pressure. The sharp decline comes amid a continued drop in iron ore futures, driven by a seasonal slowdown in demand and indications of output curbs by Chinese steel mills.

Iron ore futures sank 1.5% to $92.65 a tonne, reflecting weakening market conditions. This downturn has broadly impacted Australian iron ore producers, with Fortescue (ASX:FMG) falling 3.2% and BHP Group (ASX:BHP) declining 1.3%. However, Mineral Resources experienced the most severe drop among its peers.

The slump in iron ore prices and subsequent stock declines highlight the sensitivity of Australian mining companies to global commodity trends and Chinese demand. As China, the world's largest steel producer, reportedly curbs its steel output, the ripple effects are being felt across the Australian resources sector. Investors will be closely watching for any signs of demand recovery or further policy changes in China that could influence the iron ore market.
