Platts corrects Metals Asia Daily Iron Ore IODEX commentary for Feb 6

Platts, part of S&P Global Energy, has corrected the first paragraph in its Metals Asia Daily Iron Ore IODEX Commentary for Feb. 6 to the following:

The seaborne Asian iron ore market weakened in the week to Feb. 6 ahead of the Lunar New Year holidays, as prices fell to a six-month low of below $100/dry mt for the first time since Aug. 1, 2025. The Platts Iron Ore Index, or IODEX, was assessed at $98.7/dmt CFR China, down $1.6/dmt day over day.

The correction affects only the commentary, not the assessment.

The commentary was published in SBB Steel Markets Daily, PMA1107 and STL1107.
