Iron market started warming up in March as downstream casting producers were returning to replenish raw materials
. Meanwhile, iron production did not improve much and iron prices rebounded very apparently as a result . The quickly rising prices of raw materials such as iron ore and coke also pushed upward iron prices further . The significant price increase depressed buyers from placing orders for a while and iron prices retreated since the middle of the month but rebounded again by the end of the month due to the tightening supply . With profits increasing, more iron producers were enlarging their production in the month . As the supply would keep improving in the coming April when the demand may quiet down a bit after end users complete their orders . It is not likely that iron prices would keep going upward and especially with the supply improving, iron prices may start dropping again in the second half of April.
