Iron Ore — AU export staple, AUD-correlated
Iron ore remains Australia's largest commodity export, generating over $100bn annually and driving significant AUD correlation. Current spot prices reflect Chinese steel demand dynamics, with Australian miners like BHP and Rio Tinto heavily exposed to price movements. The commodity typically shows inverse correlation with USD strength, making it particularly relevant for AUD-based traders.
