Iron ore price jumped on Wednesday after China Evergrande Group said it reached an agreement with yuan bondholders on an interest payment.

January iron ore on China’s Dalian Commodity Exchange ended daytime trading 3.7% higher at 668.50 yuan ($103.41) a tonne.
The recent deal brought some relief after fears over Evergrande’s financial stability sparked a global flight from risk.

China’s central bank also boosted short-term cash into the financial system, helping steady commodity markets.
