Brazil iron ore loadings hit 5-year seasonal high in Oct 2025

Brazil iron ore loadings recover to 5-year seasonal high last week

Brazil’s iron ore loadings rebounded strongly since mid-Sep’25…

A chart in IFCHOR GALBRAITHS brand colours showing Brazil’s iron ore loadings per week reaching a 5-year seasonal high of 9.3 Mt in October 2025, based on IG Research data.

… recovering from earlier port slowdowns to reach a 5-year seasonal high of 9.3 Mt last week — the highest since end-Aug’25.

The surge reflects renewed Chinese restocking and possibly a rush to ship ahead of Simandou’s first cargoes, expected in Nov’25.

Year-to-date loadings stand at 323.5 Mt (+4% YoY), putting Brazil on track for a record finish in Cal’25. For further insights, contact research@IfchorGalbraiths.com.
