Iron ore futures in Singapore touched $130 a ton for the first time since March on an improving demand outlook for steel in China, which is considering a new wave of stimulus to shore up the struggling property sector.

The steelmaking ingredient has jumped by a third from this year's low in late May. Iron ore surged past the $130 mark after Bloomberg reported Beijing plans to provide at least 1 trillion yuan ($137 billion) of low cost financing to the nation's urban village renovation and affordable housing programs.

Good backdrop to be selling the scoping study. Would be serious margins at current levels.
