Fortescue shares climb with ASX miners, China iron ore worries remain

Fortescue Ltd stock bounced Friday, finishing at A$20.21 for a 61-cent gain. The shares opened at A$20.07, moved between A$19.86 and A$20.21, and ended the week above the A$20 mark after slipping below that level earlier.

Fortescue’s shares still react to iron ore prices, since iron ore brings in most of its cash flow and dividends. The benchmark iron ore price was about US$101.62 a tonne on June 12, almost flat for the day but off more than 8% for the month, Trading Economics said. Reuters puts China’s share at roughly three-quarters of seaborne iron ore trade.
