China's state-controlled buyer CMRG is pressuring Australian iron ore producers like Fortescue Metals Group to accept lower prices, increasing trade friction and putting Australia's iron ore export revenue at risk.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Industrial.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a new trade front with China using its purchasing power to squeeze prices on key Australian exports. Lock in alternative buyers or pricing models this week to shield your revenue from Beijing’s increasing leverage.
