Reserves at Chinese ports to lower iron ore prices in the world to $35/ton

 Metaltorg.ru reports referring to Bloomberg that according to the assessment of Clarksons Platou Securities Inc., the price for iron ore might fall to $35/ton in H2 2015 on the background of the growth of reserves at the ports.
