The most-traded September iron ore contract on China’s Dalian Commodity Exchange (DCE) ended day time trading 2.91% lower at 866 yuan($119.85) a metric ton.

Prices erased gains from a 2.63% rally on Monday, the first day of trading following China’s May Day public holiday, which came after a Politburo read out said that authorities should conduct research on policies and measures to reduce housing inventory in order to prevent and diffuse risk in the real estate market.

“Due to the end of the Chinese holiday, iron ore inventory replenishment speculation has ended.

In addition, arrivals at the port during the working days of May continue to be high, and the port inventory is at a seasonal high,” said Pei Hao, a Shanghai-based analyst at international brokerage Freight Investor Services (FIS). “The fundamental factors are bearish this week,” he added.
