Watch the webinar recording - Platts IODEX specifications update: A review of what's changed
Effective Jan. 2, 2026, Platts has updated the IODEX benchmark quality specifications to better reflect the actual specifications of cargoes trading in the spot market, following implemented degradations to mainstream Australian medium grade iron ore fines in 2025. While the spot market is gradually transitioning to 61% Fe basis pricing, Platts continues to support the market with the publication of transitional assessments, which began even before the specifications update was implemented.
To further aid market participants in navigating this transition, Platts will be organising a complimentary webinar covering the following topics:
- Overview of IODEX, lump premium methodology following Jan. 2 specs update
- Key market movements and price drivers between Q4 2025 and Q1 2026
- Review of 2025 spot market trading and volumes
