Iron ore futures fell on Monday, following strong gains the previous week, due to headwinds in China's real estate sector.
DCIOcv1, the most traded iron ore on China's Dalian Commodity Exchange in January, fell 0.2% in daytime trading to 871.50 yuan ($119.53) per ton.
Despite the decline in iron ore, coking coal DJMcv1 gained 4.3% and 2.2% in value.
The benchmark planting contract on the Singapore Exchange SZZFV3 was down 0.9% at $121.90 per metric tonne by 0710 GMT.
In Shanghai, the situation was a little different. Rebar SRBcv1 increased by 0.7% and hot rolled coil SHHCcv1 increased by 0.3%, while wire rod SWRcv1 decreased by 0.5%.
