Abstract

The article discusses the latest developments in the global iron ore and crude steel markets as of October 2010. It claims that China's quick recovery in crude steel production in the second half of 2009 propelled growth in global output. World crude steel output, however, fell by 8.1% to 1,219 million tons (Mt) in 2009 from 1,326.6 Mt in 2008. In iron ore production, the top global producers in 2009 include Australia, Brazil and China.
