Supply and demand

Registered demand divided by supply, month by month. Above 1 means buyers competed for more than was offered. Each offer counts once, even when it settled at several prices.

0.65× this month against a 0.66× average over the previous 6 months — less competition than usual.

Seasonal pattern

Average month-on-month change in “Iron-ore pellet” across complete archive years. Measuring change month to month leaves annual inflation out of the figure by construction, so what remains is the month’s own behaviour.

How to read this page

The exchange publishes Rial per kilogram; only the currency is converted here, to Toman per kilogram. VAT, fees and freight are not added.

These are session trades, not a live tick. Each good trades in its own session, so “previous session” means that good’s own previous session, not yesterday.

Every average is weighted by tonnage: a 5,000-tonne lot and a 25-tonne lot do not move the figure equally.

The seasonal pattern and the demand-to-supply ratio describe past behaviour. Neither is a price forecast.
