Iron ore prices saw a boost due to improving manufacturing activity in China, as indicated by the latest PMI data. Singapore iron ore futures and futures on the Dalian exchange in China both rose by 3.8%, while CME futures fell by 0.3%. The construction sector's slowdown and high steel inventory levels in China have negatively impacted iron ore prices and related stocks. The VanEck Steel ETF (SLX) and the SPDR S&P Metals & Mining ETF (XME) experienced slight increases on Monday, but have shown mixed performance in 2024. Key holdings such as Rio Tinto (RIO), Vale (VALE), Freeport McMoRan Inc (FCX), and Steel Dynamics Inc (STLD) also saw varied movements.

Anglo American (OTC:NGLOY) is considered a potential bargain by Barron's due to rising copper prices and a comprehensive portfolio review. Despite underperforming against competitors like BHP Group Ltd (NYSE:BHP), Rio Tinto (NYSE:RIO), and Glencore ADR (OTC:GLNCY) due to operational issues and market slumps in diamonds and platinum-group metals, Anglo American's focus on copper and potential strategic moves, including asset spin-offs or partnerships, could enhance its value. Analysts see the company's copper business and market recoveries as key drivers for improvement, with external factors like China's demand and green energy transitions supporting copper prices.

Cleveland-Cliffs (NYSE:CLF) is set to receive up to $575 million from the U.S. Department of Energy for decarbonization projects in Ohio and Pennsylvania, aiming to significantly reduce carbon intensity in steel production. This move, part of a broader shift towards renewable energy steelmaking, positions Cleveland-Cliffs as a leader in the industry. The projects are expected to save $450 million annually in production costs, preserve 2,500 jobs, and create additional jobs. This initiative is supported by strong government backing and could enhance Cleveland-Cliffs' position in the domestic steel sector amidst Nippon Steel's acquisition of U.S. Steel (NYSE:X) and political interest in supporting the domestic industry.
