    Don't confuse volume with price increase.

    The article says several official sources remain bearish.

    No chance. Even the article states about Vale: "...its expansion is set to accelerate later this year as it begins mining at S11D in Carajas, the industry's biggest development project."

    S11D will flood the market with 90 million tonnes per annum at the lowest cost of production in the world.

    Hard to see any sustained rally in iron prices when the world's top three producers are going full throttle increasing volume with no foreseeable increase on the demand side.

    Well there is clearly demand increase.

    Its strange to see property investors fail to realize supply/demand in other asset classes.

    Clearly? Where?

    Supply curve is shifting right faster than demand curve.

    Agree with @mrdobalina can you elaborate where you see the demand coming from to mop up the increasing volume? I am always interested in contrarian views, as long as there is some logic behind them.

    I'd love as much as anyone to see a sustained rally in iron prices, I hold a decent chunk of BHP amongst other stocks (not just a 'property investor' thanks) but I am not myopically trying to fit a recovery story to what I see as a small uptick in prices led by some opportunistic buying, need to see something more lasting before I put my money on the table.
