  "account": "Iron ore prices held steady on August 25, 2026, with the 62% Fe futures benchmark closing around US$95.40 per tonne, up a mere 0.06% from the previous day. Vale's New York-listed ADRs surged 1.93% to US$15.33, while Rio Tinto also rose 1.92% to US$106.81. This divergence between Vale's share gains and the flat iron ore prices suggests investors are betting on Chinese stimulus measures rather than reacting to current physical demand. Despite some optimism, concerns persist over Chinese steel demand, as evidenced by hot-rolled coil production falling 1.5% week-on-week.",
