Chinese steel mills are dominating a rapidly evolving iron ore derivatives market to hedge themselves against price volatility.

The market for financial products derived from iron ore is relatively new, despite being common for other major raw materials such as oil and copper for the past three decades.

It wasn't until 2008 that Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank launched iron ore swaps, and since then the market has grown in a multibillion-dollar-a-month trade.

Daily volumes now average the equivalent of 2 million tonnes of iron ore, sufficient for the hedging of several Capesize ships, according to data compiled by Platts.

''In many ways iron ore has been a late bloomer in terms of commoditisation, but once in motion, the pace of development has been incredibly quick,'' Steel Index senior analyst Oscar Tarneberg said.

''In the past year, we've seen a lot more Chinese steel mills and physical traders getting involved in the market to hedge their exposure to price swings in the raw material.''
