China's steel mills are still in talks with iron ore miners on long-term supply deals but are aiming to get prices back down to 2007 levels, a senior official with a Chinese steel industry group said on Tuesday.
"The iron ore price should fall to the 2007 level. This is still our main target in the negotiation," Luo Bingsheng, vice chairman of the China Iron and Steel Association, told reporters on the sidelines of a conference.
That would indicate a fall from last year's levels of 40 to 45 percent.
Luo said CISA had a new proposal for the negotiations, but declined to elaborate.
