SGX: The Emergence Of Low-Grade Iron Ore Derivatives

Date 05/12/2014

• The correlation between high and low-grade iron ore prices has declined this year amidst a wave of low-grade supply growth. This has led to higher basis risk for market participants hedging lower grade seaborne cargoes.
• While the existing 62% Fe price is likely to remain the primary benchmark iron ore price, the importance of a supplementary lower grade iron ore benchmark price is rising. Lower grade iron ore now accounts for about a quarter of the overall seaborne market.
• BHP Billiton’s Yandi fines, one of the most established low-grade iron ore brands, is priced off Metal Bulletin’s premium 58% Fe index. The lower correlation between high and low-grade iron ore prices coupled with greater lower grade volumes in the market should drive more low-grade brands to transition to a 58% Fe index moving forward.
• SGX will launch two new 58% Fe derivative products in early 2015 (based on Metal Bulletin and TSI low-alumina 58% Fe indices, respectively), supplementing our existing iron ore products which have seen volume growth at a CAGR of 138% over the past four years. Further, with a 60% margin offset available between the 62% Fe and 58% Fe contracts, this will enable capital-efficient spread trading opportunities across both contracts.
