Los Angeles CA (SPX) Mar 27, 2024

In a significant advancement for commodity market analysis, Ursa Space has unveiled a new weekly dataset providing volumetric measurements of iron ore stockpiles across critical global locations. Leveraging cutting-edge satellite imagery, this subscription-based service offers precise, unbiased data, setting a new benchmark in transparency for the iron ore market. Subscribers can now access unparalleled insights into economic indicators previously clouded by the sector's opacity.

This innovative dataset parallels Ursa Space's Global Oil Inventories product, furnishing a detailed overview of the iron ore market's supply-demand dynamics. By analyzing trends in stockpile volumes, stakeholders can gauge whether the market is oversupplied or undersupplied, assisting in the prediction of future price movements.

The relevance of iron ore as a key component in the global economy is underscored by its influence on a variety of asset classes, including futures in iron ore and steel, as well as currencies like the Chinese Yuan and the Australian Dollar, and even the MSCI China Index. This interconnection highlights the dataset's utility in crafting diversified investment strategies.

Key questions addressed by the dataset include the impact of China's construction activity on its economy, the operational status of Chinese smelters amid infrastructure projects, and potential supply disruptions from major exporters-all critical factors affecting iron ore prices and related equities.

Strategic stockpile locations covered in the dataset include:

- Port Hedland, Australia
- Saldanha Bay, South Africa
- Ponta da Madeira, Brazil
- Qingdao, China
- Caofeidian, China

Ursa Space employs advanced radar satellite technology to measure stockpiles, a method superior to traditional approaches as it is impervious to limitations like cloud cover and darkness. This ensures not only the highest accuracy but also the ability to monitor subtle topographical changes, redefining standards for data reliability in commodity market analysis.

The dataset's precision was affirmed through a rigorous accuracy study, which compared its measurements against LiDAR and radar satellite imagery of a selected stockpile location, revealing a strong correlation and validating Ursa Space's innovative approach.
