"Iron ore (prices) fell another five per cent last night.
Iron ore spot prices have dropped by 50 per cent from the record levels of about $US180 ($A174.70) a tonne in the first half of calendar 2011, and have fallen by 30 per cent over the past two months.

Spot iron ore prices fell $US4.50 to near three-year lows of $US90.30 ($A87.64) on Wednesday, with reports of more falls on Thursday in China.
