Iron ore swaps fell Monday in light trade, with interest muted amid a drop in Shanghai rebar futures following a Singapore holiday-extended weekend.
 
Australian, Brazilian and Ukraine iron ore cargoes traded after the three-day weekend, while only a few clips in the prompt month and quarter swaps changed hands at lower prices than on Thursday.
 
Shanghai May rebar futures, which is currently the most active contract, settled at Yuan 3,648/mt ($584.17) on Monday, down Yuan 20 on Friday's settlement, and Yuan 26 lower from Thursday's level.
 
November swaps, based on The Steel Index's 62%-Fe CFR Tianjin index, traded at $116/dry mt, down from $117.50/dmt last heard Thursday.
 
The Q1 swaps were done at $114/dmt, flat to a trade heard Friday, and down from $116-116.50/dmt in the prior session.
 
Calendar swaps were valued at around $112.50/dmt with bid/offer spreads from several sources given as $112-113/dmt. A time spread between Q1 2013 and Cal-13 saw a bid/offer at $0.50-2/dmt.
 
November swaps, basis Platts IODEX, were assessed at $117.50/dmt, down $1.50. The IODEX Q1 2013 was assessed at $115.50/dmt, falling $2. The IODEX Cal-13 fell $1.50 to $114/dmt.
 
The Platts IODEX 62%-Fe index on Monday was unchanged at $120.50/dmt CFR North China. The TSI 62%-Fe CFR Tianjin index added 40 cents to $120/dmt on Friday. (Source: Platts)
