Australia's mineral exports to face pressure

28 Dec 2018 12:09 reported by Vicky Wang

A A A
Australia’s mineral export trade has just added a lot of uncertainty due to trade conflicts and the impact of the global economic downturn.

Australia was the world's largest exporter of iron ore and coal. The Bloomberg Commodity Index, which has 22 raw materials such as gold, copper, crude oil and natural gas, has fallen for the first time since 2015.

Copper, nickel and aluminum prices have also fallen during the trade war, plus the pressure from a strong dollar, it has clearly impacted Australia's export index. In the past, the commodity demand stimulus policy helped Australia to survive the global financial crisis.

However, this time the Brexit and the US exited the fiscal stimulus policy, the fiscal and monetary policy has not played too much space.

Australian Science and Technology Innovation Department predicts that iron ore prices will fall all the way to 2020 due to slower demand. In the 2019/20 fiscal year, Australian iron ore exports will fall from AU$640 billion in this fiscal year to AU$570 billion.
