    I have looked at the cash cost of iron ore producers.
    FMG, BHP, RIO, gina rinehart ( $14 to $18 ton cash cost)

    These low costs will set a very low equilibrium price. It will likely bounce between $25 and $30 depending long term, depending on the willingness for these competitors to compete for market share.
    When China expands their mine capacity and reduces domestic construction there will be a market shock. Australian companies will unlikely have influence over the market without sabotaging their own company.
