    Hey Flip,

    Whilst I agree with your sentiment, you also have to take the IO price into consideration, below is a very simple calculation based upon the last 3 months:

    • Since 25 Nov 2020 to the beginning of Feb 2021 the "average" IO spot price for 62% Fe was $158.8
    • For the month of Feb this year the average spot price was $164.2 or an increase of 3.4% for one month alone

    Of course a higher dollar does weigh on the value of exports paid in USD, but the commodity price is also a major contributor here. A few dollars ahead of where we are today, will counter the higher dollar price and balance the playing field.
