With Iron Ore Price Dropping Below $100, How’s Cleveland-Cliffs Stock Doing?
Cleveland-Cliffs stock (NYSE: CLF) has dropped 12% in the last one month, completely underperforming the S&P 500 which increased 1% during this period. If you look at the change in stock price over the last ten days, CLF stock again underperformed the market by dropping almost 3%. The drop in CLF stock recently has been driven by the fall in iron ore prices. The global price of iron ore per ton has fallen below $100. It currently stands at $94, which marks a decrease of 22% from the level of $121/ton seen a month back. Efforts of decarbonization in China have led to the drop in iron ore prices. Additionally, the prices of steel are also likely to go down as Chinese steel supply is expected to rise in early 2022. With CLF being exposed to both the metals, the stock fell 12% in a month.
