In a development highlighting the fragility of trade relations between Australia and China, Fortescue's iron ore cargoes have been held up after talks with Chinese authorities stalled, according to a Bloomberg report. Iron ore is Fortescue's primary revenue source, and these obstacles come at a critical time for the company, which relies heavily on the Chinese market.
The news came after Fortescue shares (FSUGY) closed at $26.21 on June 25, near the session low of $25.95, per market data. This unfolds against a backdrop of weak Chinese demand for commodities, with official data showing foreign direct investment in China fell 8.6% year-on-year through May, reflecting slowing economic activity.
